So part of the Chicago trip was to go to NextFest and run by Wired Magazine and highly sponsored by GE. It was on Navy Pier and they had all sorts of new technologies on display. I’ll be doing multiple-posts about them over the next few days (weeks?).
Me, the guy into all the gizmos and gadgets did look at more than a few of them and say “Why?” They were just that far out that I couldn’t see any kind of application for them.

It got to be a hot one today. They said 97 today and I don’t think they were exaggerating! I’ve bounced all around today. Heather’s house was my base and I bounced between there and the paths by the water at Northwestern U and downtown Evanston each a few times. And I drank about 10 gallons of water, coca-cola and Gatorade. I also took a bunch of photos which I’ll add later once I get back to a WiFi zone (I’ll post a few and add a bunch to my flickr feed). It’s still pretty hot out even with the sun down (even with a breeze).
We’re talking about easily accessible things here (in no particular order), like:

If it took this long to just get a menu (yes, I do need more than just the tequila menu) how long will my food take? Wait, why do all the other tables have another insert in their menu that I don’t have? Please note I’m not actually trying to get an answer to this question, I’m trying to get the insert or specials or whatever it is.
You know HD Television is going to replace sliced bread as the “best thing since…” when your family (well, Dori’s family) watches “darn near anything so long as it’s in HD”, today it’s Swan Lake, a documentary on soap making in Nebraska and team rhythmic gymnastics. I’m gonna have to make the jump one of these days, but just finally got digital cable last week…

So I had power all the way down here on the train (yes, I’m in Chicago now) which was a treat, if only they had WiFi. I plugged in the the laptop before I went to bed and the darn battery charger cord came out 1/8th of an inch and now the thing is dead. I was going to take it with me when I left for Evanston (my plan was to blog, eat and shop all day, with some rollerblading in there too). My battery lasts a decent time but it seems to take forever to charge… I’m just annoyed because it’s only out of juice because it slipped, not ’cause it ran out. Maybe I’ll have to be geekless part of the day.
Have you seen the video? It should give you some clue as to how goofy he was acting on the show the day her was talking about Katie…

While I may have goofed the wording up, I see that my guess won for first place in the 100 best movie quotes of all time! As Casablanca was my second guess, I would have hoped it would have scored higher (but it did get six of the one-hundred quotes).
