A nerdy good time

Originally published 5/20/2008 Hello again, So this morning I'm attending a conference in Ohio : "Intel IT Professional Seminar". I know you're all very jealous. I didn't sleep well last night in my hotel, but I assume the riveting lectures I'll sit through during the next 8 hours of technolog.... .... .... .... oh.. sorry, I just dozed off. This conference is being held at the beautiful Hilton hotel here in Columbus, OH which actually is quite impressive. The floors are adorned with marble and pretty much every piece of trim looks as if it was hand made just for the folks here at the hotel. I suppose the most interesting thing so far is that the sodas they served us this morning, all lined up like bowling pins on a cloth-covered table, were actually glass bottles instead of the typical plastic. I found that very intriguing... almost as if they were saying that the "Hilton is too fancy for mere plastic bottles"... (insert snooty laugh here). Having finished by now at least one soda, I will admit that in fact soda does taste better from the glass. Here here... so I hold my empty glass bottle high and salute the old days, when our lives were much less complicated and every soda was consumed from that sexy, curved glass bottle. Now... where is my environmentally friendly laptop with the green leafy label?
