Friday
Current mood: reflective

So I’ve been absorbing a lot here in Vancouver, Canada.  Yesterday, after sitting in a conference room all day, I escaped to English Bay.  My jeans absorbed a bit of the ocean (like a wick, really), and my shoes took on some sand.

My mind is blurred from such concepts as Ambient Findability and Information Architecture.  Peter Morville did really well, though, and the conference has been excellent thus far.  I even saw him running along the beach where I stopped to find my soul.  I wanted to stop him and say “found you!” but didn’t.

It was good to see my friend the Pacific again.  We shook hands and I teared a bithe didn’t mind the extra drop of salt water, though.  There is something about seeing the ocean and knowing that you’re at the edge of something.  It’s both comforting and challenging.  So I sat a bit and watched the sun set and water recede.

So far I’ve met fabulous people and have taken.  Here are just a few of those pix:
