My ass has a carbon footprint.

I've really enjoyed not traveling anywhere this last month. As much as I like seeing different places, I really enjoy being back home. I find that miss the little things. I miss having a routine.
Next week sees the restart of lots[*] of traveling.

Beginning with a vacation. I'm in San Francisco from next Wednesday through Sunday. (locals: drop me a mail if you'd like to meet up for a food/beer or whatever.) I've got stuff planned for most the week, but there's guaranteed to be a bunch of free time too. On Thursday I'm off to Alcatraz for a few hours, which should be interesting. And on Friday night, I'm heading over to Oakland to see Nine Inch Nails which should be good fun. (if any locals I know are also going, send hot mailz. I need knowledge on how to survive Oakland without getting stabbed/shot/etc. Teach me your survival skills.)

Assuming I survive my outing to Oakland, I get back to Boston on Sunday evening, and get a whole week at home, before heading back out to the west coast again, this time to Portland, Oregon for the Linux kernel summit, and plumbers conf. I'm giving a talk there on how much of an awesome idea it would be if every Linux distro shipped a standard initrd. It's either going to be awesome, or a lead balloon.

[*] ok, it's not "lots", but two coast to coast trips in the same month are still what I deem 'excessive'.
