This summer has been relatively light on conference travel for me, minus some time in Portland for Open Source Bridge.. (which was awesome, again).
Next week I will be heading up to Couch Camp at Walker Creek Ranch. I am really looking for it for multiple reasons, but having visited the venue when it was being considered I couldn’t help but be blown away with the hidden little Marin valley. I really look forward to participating in the CouchDB geekery, general Open Source geekery, and outstanding scenery.
After which I have a week to prepare for a lengthy trip involving 360Flex, followed by a talk at the NYC Selenium Meetup, Sept 22 and then heading to JS Conf EU in Berlin.
While I’m on that side of the pond I am using the opportunity to go see some family in Lausanne, Switzerland and Aarhus, Denmark.
This will be pretty jam packed, but if you are interested in talking Open Source over a beer in any of these places.. let me know!
Also, in the spirit of all this I have updated my blog theme to what seems to be a lot simpler… maybe that will influence my state of mind, inspiring more frequent updates 
One last note: Tomorrow the MooTools JavaScript Framework guys are hosting a hackathon at Cloudera, I am considering heading down for a bit in the morning to work on some cool ideas for a front end only Windmill test runner embed.
