Back to work -- for real this time, but briefly.

Well, I'm back from my conference, and have just 3 more weeks of work until I leave for good.

The conference was wonderful; I already can't wait for the 2010 edition. I got to meet Garrison Keillor, saw a speech by Mike Peters (cartoonist who draws Mother Goose and Grimm, and also the most awesomely insane speaker I've ever seen), and hung out in a bar with the creators of Chad Vader.

Now that I'm back, I can alert everyone to my column from last Friday, and point certain people (sen_no_ongaku) to an interesting development in women's undergarments.
