I’m not close to having them all up, and will hopefully be able to recover the ones on the\ fried laptop’s hard drive, but I’ve started uploading photos from China. They’ll all end up at that URL eventually.

The Many Misadventures of One Kevin P. Lawver
I made it home. What a week. I posted before about what I did on the flight to China and that was the last you heard from me. Well, Saturday night, my laptop died. It suffered a complete hard drive failure. Even using Arun system disk, it couldn’t find the hard drive controller. Hopefully, this […]
Losing Time, Gaining Time
I spent fourteen hours on a plane yesterday, racing the dawn over the North Pole, getting from Dulles to Beijing. In my sleeplessness, I started thinking about how weird travel days are when you cross timezones. I lost almost a whole day, timewise, being in the air. A fourteen hour flight really took twenty-six hours […]
How to Spend 14 Hours Stuck in a Chair
I’m heading to the airport in a couple hours, with a very long plane ride ahead of me (well, two, but the second is next week). How long? Well, if United is to be believed, it’s thirteen hours and forty-four minutes long. This will be the longest continuous flight I’ve ever been on (Dulles to […]
The Two Best Photos I’ve Ever Taken

Christmas Pictures

We all got at least a little touch of something at some point during the trip, which was unpleasant, but we […]
Holiday Highlights
This is just the fun stuff. I am leaving out all of the fevers, vomiting, face implosions, second-degree burns, and tears:\ We left for my parents’ house in Mississippi on the Friday before Christmas, a day earlier than we had planned, because Max kept nagging us about wanting to be there already. The drive really […]
Paris Pics
\ Most of them are up now over on Flickr.
Au Revoir, Paris!
It’s been a good week in Paris for XTech. I haven’t been able to do a lot of site seeing with Jen because of a chest cold and my foot, but the food’s been good, the company great and I’ve learned some interesting stuff and met some really cool folks. I spent most of the […]
Tom and Kevin’s XTech Presentation
It’s called Open AIM as It Relates to You. I’m about to run downstairs to catch Simon Willison’s presentation, and then we’re up. Then, it’s time to pack, then go out to dinner with Daniel, go to bed, wake up, and then come home!
