Where is that geek off to next?

I've spent some time today making reservations and buying airline tickets. Seems I have to do some traveling over the next couple of months.

I'll be driving over to Tallahassee at the end of this month. Maybe on the 28th or 29th.

In mid-March, it's off to NOLA for a management confab. It'll be my first time to New Orleans since Katrina, so I'm looking forward to seeing the progress made there. If I bump into John Edwards, I'll give him your best.

Undoubtedly I'll be back in Tallahassee on March 19 for Legal Aid Day at the Capitol.

One of these days I'd like to travel for pleasure. Maybe to Sau Paulo to visit David or back to the Left Coast to check in with Ray. Or perhaps somewhere even more exotic. Who knows?

Back from Austin

I've survived my latest job-related journey, this one to the LSC TIG conference in Austin, Texas. I met a lot of great people and learned from some of the other Geek Lawyers who do the kind of work I do. Results of that learning will make their way here, to jaxoutloud.com, and to my sites in the Law Help network.

Austin is a nice town and has a great vibe. I was on my own, so I didn't take many pictures or do much interesting stuff. But I could just tell that the town had a seriously great vibe. The most exciting thing I found there was the retail outlet of the famous bigshoes.com store. When you're like me, you have a hard time finding shoes to fit your ginormous feet. Thanks to my trip to Austin, I have some new shoes, new ideas, and a new outlook on life. It's amazing how clear your head can be when your feet aren't squished into too-small shoes.

Meet my new kicks:


I have a lot to cover in the world of politics and tech, but now I want to put on my new shoes and do something with this beautiful (early-spring) Jacksonville day.
