hello from san francisco

i'm here for the java one nerd conference. this is my second one. RESPECT MY GREEN ALUMNI BADGE.

4 days of mind numbing technical sessions about what's hot in programming and droll shit like that.

also, i'm never flying united again. their philly terminal sucks. my 6:14 flight was delayed until 7:40 because although we had a plane at the gate, we had no crew. and we didn't get off the ground until 8. so that means i didn't crash in san fran until 1:30 something est. i did catch the fastest taxi cab ride from the airport to the hotel though. we were pushing 80 something in one of those taxi vans. a few more mph and we would've activated the flux capacitor.

i only have internet at the conference so that sucks. hotel internet costs $12 a day. so frack that.

to the college grads

and lesser extent, high school grads:


get a job. get married. have kids. make some kodak moments. die. don't worry, by the time you die, your body will have aged and decayed from working for 50 years that you wouldn't notice the depression.

wii smash bros

most awful 5k ever

118.Will Vuona Philadelphia,PA 99 M 31:02 9:59 97/160

the best time was 21:14... most 5k winners are in the 15-16 minute area so that's a pretty good indicator of how tough this one was. the first mile was mostly uphill and i burned myself out too fast there on a quick 8:30 pace. the second mile had a few climbs and i lost a ton of time on a ~12 minute pace. the third mile was mostly downhill and i picked up a lot of time and energy for a final sprint.

my final time was more like 30:30, according to my clock. more training to do!

p.s. fuckers typo'ed my last name and lost my age.

i can't wait to look stupid
