Progress

[da]

I'm in Chicago. First task tomorrow: replace my camera's CF card.

I bought my digital camera in 2001. One of its features was its massive storage capacity: a 340 MB hard-disk, in CF form-factor. (Man, that was a lot of storage then. And so tiny!) But progress marches on. Now my camera is old, slow, and I was wondering when I could afford to replace it.

Yesterday, I tried a regular CF card in it. Weow, it's like a whole new camera, so much faster.

Staples has a sale on CF cards. $30 gets you 1GB. That seems like progress to me.

emaki and I are in a hotel just next to McCormick Place. It's overlooking some odd looking statuary.

Blade Runner?





Also, the
bedside table: (sorry for the crap picture; it's from my laptop webcam):



has both a Gideon Bible and The Teaching of Buddha. [ed: fixed titles]

Tomorrow: architecture tours.

Aha. I think i met you at the conference, then.

The official teeshirt has the theme of the Chicago 18whatever Fire. W/ a byline "an open source conlagration".

The city is seeming fine, so far. So far.
