It has been a truly magnificent day. Today was the day of communication works – a type of exhibition hosted by the school I work at, based around communication. There were all sorts of cool things there: there were stands by toby churchil, Dynovox, tellus, and so on, as well as a load of new things like music systems controlled by moving your hands below a sensor. Most of it was geared towards the LD market, but that was still pretty damn cool.

My job was to make sure the students were doing their assigned tasks, like manning the sign-in desk, but that was simple enough. I had great fun looking at all the stands, talking to the exhibitors, learning all kinds of interesting stuff. I was frequently fascinated At one point Lyn came along with Dan, and they had a great time talking to a guy about music technology. Lyn met a couple of teachers and a rough plan was hatched to get her teaching music at school, which, frankly, would be the coolest thing ever.

I got home about 3 30, tired, feeling very pleased with how things went, and in need of a cold beer. I found the books I ordered waiting for me on the living room table. All told, it’s been a great day.
