Well, my apartment is a mess. I'm single, and don't have a roommate, so there's been little incentive to clean. However, I'd rather not live in a pig sty forever, so it was time to clean. I like fancy new technology, so I've got a bunch kicking around that I don't use anymore. Parting with junk is tough, but it's way easier if you can get money for it, it seems easier. Plus, you get money. So I took my aforementioned (but unplayed for the past year) PSP to the pawn shop to sell it (once I did one last game for memories sake).

Running a pawn shop has to suck, apart from needing to take down details on everyone they buy from, they need to hold onto everything they buy for 30 days before they can sell it again. So they pay first, then can sell again after a month. This is reverse of a lot of retailers who manage to get products, then pay for them later!

I (despite Air Canada's best efforts) have arrived safely in Vancouver in preperation for Open Web Vancouver. I'll be doing a new talk on State and History in Ajax. I'll be leveraging the YUI throughout the talk. Registration is still open for the conference so if you're in the area come on by, tickets are a steal at only $150!

I'd also like to thank php|architect for sponsoring my attendance once again this year.
