I put my pictures from Vegas online. There’s only about 130 pictures, and I didn’t have time to adjust/correct any of them yet. Enjoy.

At this time, I should be on board my least favorite airline, Delta, and heading toward my least favorite layover city, Atlanta. For a little background about why Delta is the worst airline on the face of the earth, see my notes for 2003-03-08 and 2003-03-15 on my trip to California two years ago. If all goes well, after hitting Atlanta I’ll be in Las Vegas by 3pm Vegas time.
A year ago, I had just been offered a job, was in Daytona Beach, Florida for spring break, was reading Oracle Night by Paul Auster, and listening to Appleseed Cast. Now I’m working said job, reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, and listening to Christopher O’Riley playing Radiohead on the piano. At least I still get a spring break with my grad student friends.
See ya in a week, hopefully with tons of new pictures. Now that I’ve finished packing everything into one carry-on, it’s time for my 3 hours of sleep until I have to get up.

One of my favorite weblogs to read is Rands In Repose. Rands has a bunch of hilarious (but mostly true) Vegas related posts such as How to Win at Low Limit Poker, and Rands Vegas System. This will be useful next week in Vegas.
Also, don’t miss N.A.D.D., the management glossary for decipering business conversations, and incrementalists vs. completionists.
There are a ton of posts and articles to read. Definitely worth the time check out.

I just got my flight and hotel booked for Sin City next month. The timing for this trip is perfect, since this comes after another huge release at work so I can use up my comp time. It’s even better because I get to meet up with a couple friends on their spring break from grad school.
My goal for this trip is rest and relaxation, and maybe if I’m lucky I won’t lose too much money. I hope I can steal a little luck from my old supervisor who $18k on Party Poker.
I’ll let you know how I do.
(One little note, the taxes and fees for the flight and hotel came out to be around 17.5%! Doesn’t that seem a little extreme considering the TSA still doesn’t really provide any security?)
