Today I leave for Portland and the Webvisions conference. I'm excited about that.
I'm not excited about the weather. While Chicago will be cooling off into the upper 70s (gah!), Portland will be steaming up to 100 degrees. For an air temperature.
I'm curious if it's a "dry heat" like it is in Denver, where even 95 is mostly bearable... but I doubt it.
Hooray for Portland! Hooray for global warming!
So I'll be in Portland, Oregon for Webvisions in about four weeks and I'm already planning out what to do. (Ryan - also going - and I are keeping a private wiki to really organize the info.) I'll have a very limited amount of time during the conference, as I'm flying in Wednesday night and flying out Saturday afternoon.
So... anyone have any recommendations on things to do/see?
After I went to FATA in April (holy cow, it was in April!), I immediately updated my wonderful statemap. There are a few telling things in this map.
- Obviously, I've seen pretty much all of the midwest.
- There's a tongue down to Florida.
- There's a tongue out to California.
- Only Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts stand alone (ie, got there by plane.)
Thus, when I go to WebVisions next month I'll be one step closer to having been coast-to-coast. Only New York stands in my way.
