I’m heading off to Los Angeles in a few hours for the Microsoft Professional Developer’s Conference. If you’re planning to attend too, here’s a reminder to stop my birds-of-a-feather session on the eBay SDK for Windows on Monday night at 9PM in Room 401AB.

Los Angeles is a funny place for me. I grew up there, but I hardly ever go back. That combined with its sprawl means that I feel more at home in Manhattan or London. I certainly get lost in New York less often…hmm.

Update just heard that the LA airport is closed on a restricted schedule because of the haze generated from brush fires an FAA facility was evacuated because of the fires. If you’re flying down there today, you’ll want to check in with your airline to see what your options are. United Airlines is saying that my flight is going to leave and arrive on time, yeah right. My trust in big government led me to the FAA site, which says that flights from San Francisco to LAX are being delayed 45 minutes or more. (I wound up getting here five hours late, but I made out better than some people.)
