I wandered the campuses of Drexel and the University of Pennsylvania today while the programmer absorbed hours of technological debating and education. I have a way of reducing all that higher learning to the tawdry. I found this in a store right off campus.
Just what every programmer wants! A beagle to hump their USB port!
The programmer and I made it to Philly, where we froze our asses off last night looking for something to eat (where do all these University of Pennsylvania and Drexel students eat or is the dining hall food that good?). Miracle of miracles, the programmer woke up before noon and made it to the Emerging Tech Conference’s breakfast and keynote speech. A speech first thing in the morning? Is this done? Does anyone stay awake regardless of how invigorating the speaker is? Will definitely get the lowdown on this phenomenon from the programmer when I see him tonight.
I on the other hand went to find a frappachino. Doing the bare minimum not to scare the locals, I brushed my hair, teeth, and put on some clothes (Be thankful). Then crawled back to my
hotel room to suck down some caffeine. I love how the hotel room has quickly become just like home. Note the massive amount of cords, laptop and coffee leaving rings on my notebook. You can’t take me anywhere.
Once I’m properly caffeinated, showered, and dressed in something that isn’t sweatpants, I’ll check out the scenery, the programmers, and possibly stalk some things with my camera (Warning: I can’t take a decent photo to save my life).
If you don’t hear back from me I got picked up for indecent exposure or for taking a picture of a law professor in a compromising position-I’ve got that kind of luck-or gasp, a Java developer using .NET.
