Day 261: After the last week’s cold snap (that we’re still working our way out of) and yesterday’s morning of freezing rain, I decided today needed a little sartorial optimism. The tropical theme didn’t warm anything up, but I tried.

Year 50 Day 260
Day 260: The entire region had freezing rain last night, so we ended up with a two-hour late start and then working from home today. I wasn’t terribly disappointed by this turn of events. Today’s photo by my wife, taken just after I grumbled that I hadn’t taken a photo yet today.

The third of this year’s Philip K. Dick nominees. No review, because I’m the award ceremony coordinator. I’m not remotely involved with selecting nominees or winners, just making sure the ceremony goes as it should, but it’s best to keep my reviews to myself.
Year 50 Day 259
Day 259: A particular favorite t-shirt of mine. Gold stars to all who get the reference (not that it’s that subtle or obscure, but still…).
Year 50 Day 258
Day 258: A friend gifted me an LED decorative schematic of the USS Enterprise (swappable between the original and the 1701-D) that didn’t have a power cord. Not only have I found a couple power cords in my stash that will work for it, but I also found that it’s battery powered and, after a little work cleaning out the corrosion, it’s working again. Soon to be brought with me to my work office!
Year 50 Day 257
Day 257: High on my list of reasons I don’t like winter is how badly the cold and dry air wreaks havoc on my skin. My knuckles invariably look like I spend my off hours punching holes in the drywall of our home. Kinda feel like it, too. I’ll be quite glad when things warm up again.

Year 50 Day 256
Day 256: Today was our coldest Norwescon ConCom staff meeting yet! Not only is Seattle having a cold snap and topped out at 24° F outside, but the meeting room was having heat issues and was in the mid-40s at the start, and made it all the way up to 51° by the end! The things we deal with to make sure the convention comes together….
Year 50 Day 255
Day 255: Seattle’s having a bit of a cold snap, and it’s currently just 18° F outside, which is not nearly enough degrees. We need more degrees. Can we have our degrees back, please?
