About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Bonn, Germany
Traveling to Germany is just like traveling to San Francisco, except I can't read any of the signs and I can't understand anything anyone is saying. I picked up the rental car, a VW Sharan van (Choose Sharan from the Modelle list), which features a turbo-diesel engine (eh) and a stick shift (awesome). Clearly, I need to stay out of the left lane here (I was waved off twice, which I didn't appreciate very much). The highway was fine, but I got totally lost in Bonn, which is a pretty, pretty city. After driving around for an hour or two, I came to the conclusion that I had totally inadequate maps, and hopefully the arrival of Jeff (coming with Kerry and Steph tomorrow) will solve that problem, not because Jeff is a good navigator, but because he bought good maps. The time change stuff is a mess, but I think my not sleeping on the plane helped as I crashed last night (day for me) and got up really early (5:00 am Bonn time). Today is NT Forum, the talk, and the castle event. Tomorrow morning, Steph and Jeff and Kerry arrive and we do the tourist thing.
