One of the unintended results of the all-day softball tournament in which I played on Saturday (which wasn't really supposed to be "all-day" except that our team kept inexplicably coming from behind and winning), was that I spent all of Sunday getting caught up on crap I'd meant to do the day before. Another side effect is the just-now subsiding limp in my mechanically reconstructed ankle, but that's not important right now. Bills had to be paid, closets cleaned, and The Wife doted on for Mother's Day (said doting consisting mostly of keeping the kid out of her hair while she read a book).
Unfortunately, other things fell through the cracks. Doing any sort of meaningful blogging (an oxymoron for this site if ever there was one) being the most obvious example. This is all my lame way of saying I missed the boat on blogging about Monday's Time Traveler Convention at MIT.
The convention was a mixed success. Unfortunately, we had no confirmed time travelers visit us, yet many time travelers could have attended incognito to avoid endless questions about the future. We had a great series of lectures, awesome bands, and even a DeLorean. We regret having had to turn away visitors, but there were capacity restrictions governing Morss Hall.
I imagine the time travelers in attendance were waiting for someone to be the first to approach the dais, as it were. If they have any regrets, they can always fire up the old flux capacitor and check it out again.
The event sounded like a lot of fun, and even though there was no way I could possibly have made it (in this century, at least), I want to apologize to Emily for not getting something up here sooner like I said I would.
Already planning on checking it out, but I'll definitely take you up on the Bellagio shindig. Thanks.

If too many of them did that too often, wouldn't there be so many folks that the convention would have had to turn some away? Oh, wait...
