Arrived home around 7:30 from JFK. Flight was mostly ok, though I learned to avoid seat 11A on American's 767s (seem to have 1/3rd less pitch than other seats in business).

Landing was a bit rough...I think we did a go around but couldn't tell since there was zero visibility. Also my sinuses were acting up so I got these weird pressure pains as everything tried to equalize on descent.

On landing I felt I should turn around, I knew it was raining but the heat and humidity surprised me given how early it was in the a.m. Good thing that global warming stuff isn't true, otherwise I'd be worried (I am).

The conference I was at was ok. Mostly. I wrote about it on the artific.com site. Lot of neat, interesting stuf going on again in the internet space. Less so because of investors investing and more because the cost of entry has dropped (both for infrastructure and staff...a number of the startups have vended all or big chunks of development offshore). Not convinced it was the best use of my meager business income and would likely not return next year.

This week promises to be fun and painful all the same since we leave for Japan via LAX on Friday, arriving Tokyo on Sunday evening.
