Today, I am off to a conference.
I've never been to one before.
Dunno if anyone has any tips?

Plan your schedule in advance.
You don't have to attend something in EVERY time slot.
Take some notes, but find out where you can get the slides so you don't have to try to transcribe everything.
Meet some people and exchange contact info.

Visually spectacular "sculpted" supercell thunderstorm near Woodrow on high plains of eastern Colorado earlier today (6/8/24). This storm featured a blue-green & ground-scraping shelf cloud (& dust storm beneath) so wide I could not fully capture even with wide angle lens! #COwx

My daughter's 175 lb Great Dane is transactional. If someone comes in her booth, he doesn't care, but once there is an exchange of money (cash, card, whatever) for product, he comes out and allows a pet. He was not trained to do this. It's hilarious. He also gives a toy to one of her other dogs (St Bernards) to get what they have, or even us if we have treats. 🤣

This has been an evergreen #PublicServiceAnnouncement.
@sean_ae Isn't that what social media is for?
WHY ARE BOOMERANGS SO EXPENSIVE? WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MICROWAVE PLAYING CARDS? DOES THE ISLE OF MAN HAVE ANY WOMEN? GRIDLOCK! I'M HUNGRY!
I hate to say it, but I had a problem to solve involving tkinter that stumped search / StackOverflow, but ChatGPT came up with a solution after only a couple of queries. It was even able to explain obscure issues like, "your image isn't showing up because it's been garbage collected, so you need to keep a reference to it".
