I spent all day yesterday in Edward Tufte's Presenting Data and Information seminar; if you're involved in creating presentations, it's worth your time. (If you're a diehard Powerpoint fan and think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread though, you're likely to feel picked upon, probably especially so if you happen to work at NASA.) And proving that I can run into people I know almost anywhere: in a room full of several hundred people, I ended up sitting next to someone I used to work with at [large defense contractor] and hadn't seen in eight years or so.

Curse you, Radio Paradise. *sniffle* (This is one of the tracks on the "CD guaranteed to make me get at least a tiny bit weepy before it's over", although not one that turns on the waterworks without fail.) Yeah, I could of course turn it off, but where's the fun in that?
