Lsat week I was in LA doing some work for a client — I man­aged to meet a friend IRL that I had only known vir­tu­ally through SWG. This was a very inter­est­ing expe­ri­ence in the sense that it is two worlds that were vastly dif­fer­ent finally meet­ing. I’ve been play­ing SWG since June 2003, but yet in all my trav­els had not man­aged to meet up with any­one that has played the game. Luck­ily the first per­son I did get to meet is one of my old­est and dear­est true vir­tual friends. I’m hop­ing to head back out to LA in a cou­ple weeks and we can do it again.

This week I’m in NYC, I man­aged to do my oblig­a­tory trek to the Hard Rock Cafe (I’m in the fre­quent buy­ers pro­gram so I eat there exclu­sively when there is one close by) . I checked the Times Square Toys R’ US to see if they had any Wii’s since that was the pri­mary North Amer­i­can launch site — no joy. I’ve now seen the Rock­e­feller Cen­ter Christ­mas Tree lit up in Decem­ber so that’s another thing I can cross off my list.

One thing that irked me last night how­ever is that I man­aged to get back to my hotel and I stop by the gift shop to pick up 3 20 oz Coke bot­tles. When I went to the check out I also picked up a lighter (marked 0.38) — the total came to 14.64 — and in a $579.00 with a four some­thing a bot­tle Coke charge — they don’t take credit cards. I didn’t get the nor­mal — our credit card machine is down– I got a flat we don’t take credit cards — how asi­nine is that?

I have an arti­cle I was going to write in response to my ques­tion of how to migrate and backup your RSS feeds — hope­fully I can get to that tonight when I get off site.
