I'm in a Starbucks, heaven help me. There are, like, five within a couple of blocks of here, but this is the only one I've seen so far that has AT&T WiFi (the others have TMobile; AT&T is the one that doesn't cost me any extra, since I have AT&T DSL). The hotel I'm in charges $10 a day for Web access; likewise the convention center. Allegedly you can get online anywhere along the 16th Street Mall -- the network even shows up in my list... sometimes. Whenever I try to log on it vanishes.

Things are better today. The headache's gone away. There is still quite a lot of walking involved; I've been using the heck out of that walking stick I bought yesterday.

There's a concert I want to catch in 15 minutes, so I'm being brief. The highlight of today was the Kathy Mar GoH concert. It's cool to see a filker get the Projected on the Big Screen For Those In the Back Row (there go the Capital Letters again...).

More later...

I'm back in the hotel room, having reached the Do Not Want phase of the afternoon. The altitude is Starting To Have Effects. (Among them, apparently, a Predilection for Capital Letters.)

The Denvention programming guide suggests that I take it easy the first day and try not to exert myself. It then lists the programming spread out over a largish convention center plus hotel facilities two blocks away (plus two more blocks to the hotel where I am now, and two or three more to the hotel where I'll be staying tonight now that my roomsplit's arrived). I have been looking with distinct envy at the Segways that the convention center staff ride.

And oh, look! The rain's just arrived...

(I'm actually enjoying myself much more than this grump indicates; and once I've had a chance to rest and rehydrate I suspect I'll be feeling better. It helps that I have acquired a quite lovely walking stick.)
