I'm taking time off from work this week to go to Texas for a usability conference. I know that doesn't sound too riveting for some, but I am pretty pumped about it. User experience design is a major part of what I do for clients and I am looking forward to an infusion of info and ideas from smart people in the field.

Claire just got back from her nine months of work and play in Australia and we're getting together briefly this morning before I leave for the airport.
