DC Backlog: 10.23.06

Everyone at FDLP seems to carry a Starbuck's cup, despite the fact that there's a coffee maker (with decent coffee) in every room. I wonder if carrying the hotel cup around marks me as "cheap," or merely as "still paying off student loans."

I attended two really interesting sessions on Web Harvesting (hey, that's what I do!), and CD-ROM Migration, and had a tasty lunch with the Texas depository group in the hotel restaurant (roasted veggies on ciabatta). By the time I was finished with FDLP, Alex and I wandered up to Union Station for dinner again, repeating our Au Bon Pain delight and then indulging in some gelato on the cold, cold walk back to the Hyatt.
