Packing and Polishing

I’m just about finished packing, which is pretty difficult for a technology person. There are a lot of cables and devices that need to be squeezed into a small bag, in addition to the necessities. I’m also polishing my computer (not kidding) so it won’t have any smudge marks or smears for at least the beginning of the week.

And it has to look nice, just in case it gets to meet Steve.

I’ve printed off every document imaginable, from hotel reservations to registration confirmations. I printed off a copy of the Keynote Bingo card on some really nice photo paper. I’ll use it during the keynote as I hope to scream BINGO, and on the back I’ll jot down some of my thoughts and reactions as Steve makes product announcements. It should give me a little nostalgia later on, without taking away from my enjoyment of the Reality Distortion Field™.

My flight leaves Portland, ME at 6:00 am, which means I need to wake up at around 3:00 am. Weather is going to be a non-issue, with perfectly clear skies for most of the morning in Portland. I’ll be landing in Detroit at around 8:25 am, and there should only be a few rain showers at most. I’ll leave from there at around 9:29 am and land in San Francisco at 11:36 am PST. Again, clear skies.

I’ll be starting off my week with some fun at Pier 39, where they have a lot going on. Maybe we’ll go to the aquarium if we have time. I’ll let you know when I get there. For now, it’s time to sleep…
