So I’m heading out to Austin again tomorrow evening and will be there through Saturday. Should be a good trip to see coworkers and such, and I don’t have to give any presentations at the ceremony, so that’s a bonus. Lots of meetings though, so tomorrow morning will be busying finalizing prep on those. I have today off, and I’m semi-packing and taking care of various chores and errands.

I’ve been playing a game on the DS called “Professor Layton and the Curious Village”. This game has been pretty big in Japan, but you always need to take that with a bag of salt, because those Japanese…well, they’re nucking futs. This game though, is pretty good. It’s a collection of logic puzzles wrapped up with a fairly interesting storyline, nice graphics and sound, which all combine to make a very decent package. Logic puzzles differ from the Brain Age variety…thing the various logic flash puzzles available on the web, like ferrying wolves and sheep across a river. Some deduction, word play ones…seems to be a really good mix and damn challenging for me. This should prove to be a good one to bring along for the Austin trip.
