A PowerPoint Blog: PowerPoint Live: Day 0

It's great to be in San Diego a day before PowerPoint Live begins. It's 4:30 pm, and I still have an hour and half before I need to get down to the hotel bar and join the informal opening. So when I fall into the bed due to jet lag, I assume I can take a 15 minute rest. Turns up it is past 6 when I wake up, and my eyes are so red that I am scared to look at myself in the mirror.

A PowerPoint Blog: Missing Bag

More about my missing bag! Looks like Thai Airways sent this bag to Taipei rather than Los Angeles -- fortunately, they sent the other bag to Los Angeles so I had half my stuff when I landed at LAX airport.
