It’s been over a month since I last posted. Lots has happened. Sickness, work, new baby on the way, training for the triathlon and God has been faithful through it all.

This week I’m in Chicago at PyCon ’09. I’ve been enjoying the conference and have a few new concepts to apply to my python programming.

I’m on the train to meet my family for dinner. Mmm Thai. Just wanted to through down a couple lines. I have been wanting to write a couple posts on things I’ve been learning. I finished Basic Christianity and have cross referenced Worship Matters with Authentic Christianity. I also started Why Small Groups by CJ Mahaney. It’s a book I’m reading with a Leadership Development group at church. All have a post associated with them.

I’m thankful for the desire the Lord has given me to read in the past few months and I pray the more consistent consumption of reading material continues.

I get emails from time to time from Akamai regarding “The State of the Internet”. I have no idea how I got on the email list but it’s beside the point. While we were roaming around Cambridge tonight, btw we made it to FUDCon safely, past an Akamai building. On the ground floor there was a huge room with lots of tv’s all over the wall with graphs and stats on them. You know, a “mission control” kinda room. I took a picture that doesn’t do the room justice but gives you a little idea of what was in there. Kinda cool to see.

So I want to be the uber geek I am and post this blog post as I ride in a 15 passenger van to Boston. There are 9 of us in the van on our way to attend FUDCon F11. We have a power strip plugged into the cigarette adapter and half a dozen laptops plugged into the power strip. We also have a wireless access point broadcasting an internet signal it gets through it’s onborad PC card slot pulling over the cell towers. It’s almost 11pm night. ETA  in Boston: lunch time tomorrow…  More to come. I’ll be in front of a computer at the conference through the weekend.
