Back in Austin, Again

I’m back in Austin for the South by Southwest Interactive festival – or conference if you will. A conference that I wasn’t planning on attending given I was in Hong Kong. Two things happened: I had to go to San Fran for some client working sessions and, on Tuesday morning when I was leaving to go, I found out OK/Cancel was granted press credentials to cover the event.

This meant I was arriving in SF on Wednesday, out to Austin Friday night (waiting 2hrs at 4am for the car rental company to open), back to SF on Wednesday morning, out to HK Weds night, and back to SF on Sunday.

Hopefully, I can work out a more sane schedule. In the meantime, my most entertaining anecdotes still come from good ol’ US Immigration (where even Canadians have to finger print and get pictures taken now).

This time, they gave me a quote that I pretty much sums up my current state,

I don’t know what to do with you.

Haha, I suppose I’m in the same situation as you — I’m really not a resident of any country right now, though still (proudly) of Canadian citizenship. This of course means a few things, not the least of which is that I’m not covered under any medical plan right now. That will, of course, change shortly.
