9:30AM Sydney Time, Friday - There was some 'bottom fermenting' going on last night, because my ass put a stank out on that dance floor, if you know what I mean. And what I mean is I stood motionlessly on the periphery in bars drinking far too many lagers and pilsners, of which the Australians are overly fond. (I did get a hold of some Cooper's Sparkling Ale, though, which was not without molecules I found a pleasing match to my nubs. Thanks, James!)

In between nervously eyeing the swaying fronds of Caucasian breeding stock on the dance floor, I enjoyed many animated conversations about the topic burning a hole through the lobes of Microsoft's best and brightest: Is the Revolution going to be 'awesome' or 'fucking awesome?'

Microsoft's Cesar Menendez commented how odd it was to see his name in a 'tab' on posts. If I had not been busy constructing a chitinous armor around my liver with the scaly flotsam of ruptured brain cells, I would have barked, "I believe you mean tags, sir. Tabs are what Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 6 does not have!" Instead I ate a scallop covered in what appeared to be an exploded rabbit.

Now I have just gotten a call that says I have twenty minutes to post this, shower, and head to the lobby to travel to Microsoft AU. I bet I will be late.
