Well I am on vacation visiting the ever lovely Hartford,CT. It’s nice just not to be at work! No major plans this week, some shopping, maybe visit a few people, and just relaxing. I already got most of the stuff I wanted to buy while I was home this trip actually, a few new shirts for work (including a cool CCCP commie t-shirt from Target of all places) as well as some new books from the always fun Book Barn in Niantic.

On a totally un-related note this is a cool story out of MIT: The Time Traveler Convention The idea is “PUBLICIZE the event so that future time travelers will know about the convention and attend.” To that end they want people to :

“Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history!”

Its a cute idea, I wonder if it will work :)
