I was waiting in line for my tickets to BlizzCon yesterday.  I started talking to the group behind me and for some reason one of the guys started the "I bet you don't have this" and busted out his amateur radio license.  Both me and the guy next to me break out our call signs (I'm KA3ZIM btw).  He kinda freaks considering most people don't even ( Read more... )

Ditched out of work after lunch and rode down to San Diego. Now I'm chilling at the Field with a cigar and enjoying myself. I know the field is a gimmick and tricksy and false, but I still like it.
