As day 3 in San Jose draws to an end, I find myself wishing for a day 4, 5 and beyond. This long weekend has been the absolute best part of my year thus far and I can’t wait to do it again next year and every year thereafter for as long as they keep [...]

First, apologies for the extreme lateness and likely incoherence of this post. It’s been a very long day and now that I’ve reached its end I kind of want to soak my aching feet and crawl into bed. That said, I wouldn’t trade the aches and exhaustion for anything in the world right now. The [...]
