AOEUI
A recent increase in my textual output has resulted in a flare-up of old RSI troubles. In an attempt to reduce the wear and tear on my hands, I'm switching over to Dvorak (and taking an opportunity to train away bad old habits.)

SCALE 6x: Getting Back
By Sunday morning, SCALE had wound down. Various participants were scattered around the hotel lobby – chatting about the previous days, waiting for shuttles with their bags and napping after a few to many late night discussions.

SCALE 6x LiveBlogging: Linux in Early Education
LA is wearing her typical veil of grey-brown smog. I've been here for enough hours that I can't really smell it anymore – or much of anything else, for that matter. I'm at the LA Airport Weston with the rest of the SCALE 6x attendees.
I'm sitting in Steve Oualline's session on Linux in Early Education. [...]

SCALE 6x: Getting There
If you read my post on getting the most out of conference attendance, you know that I'm trying to reduce the environmental costs associated with my conference attendance. I even made a plan. As with most plans, real life is a bit different. Here's how I've done:
