Today Rich and I took sometime off from the Convention and toured a bit of Stuttgart.  The original plan was to hop over to a different country, we were aiming at Poland, and later Switzerland.  Unfortunately while within reach (a little over 2 hours by train) the price stopped us.  $110 Euros to Zurich is just too much to deal with unfortunately.

A journey in photos

You can find photo-documentation of our treck around town over on my Flickr page.  Today's weather was... well miraculous, considering yesterday was so horrid.  High temperatures and lots of humidity made for a miserable day, contrast that with today which has almost no humidity, cooler temperatures and a wonderful light breeze.  Stuttgart is beautiful, and today was the perfect day to see her.

Interesting developments

Strangely enough it looks as though I might have found a place that I can help within the Apache Software Foundation.  They are just now starting to explore the seedy world of marketing and advertising and that is something I have a bit of expertise in.  I hope to be added to the team that is wrestling with this soon.

Well back to the hackathon, the actual conference starts tomorrow and I speak on Friday so things are moving along nicely.
