I think I'm in love with a new drink. It's something called Teeccino, a product recommended by a Gnomie when I first started this blog. Gretchen and I stopped arguing long enough to order a sample pack. I was extremely skeptical – down to the moment I took my first sip. It was a bit bitter at first, but when I added a bit of cream, it was relatively delightful. The Hazelnut blend gets a “one tongue up” from me. I'll brew a mocha blend in my Bodum Santos for dinner. Perhaps I can get these guys to come to Gnomedex?

By the way, I've confirmed the keynote presenter for our event: Leo Laporte. I first asked him to do it upon returning from last year's geekathon. Even then, he was ready to rock and roll. Today, I gave him a few more details and he responded with a very enthusiastic YES. This means you should get signed up as soon as we launch the pre-registration process. Hopefully, that'll happen within the next couple of weeks. For those of you who don't know Leo, he's a classic geek with a dynamic personality (both on and off screen); he's toyed with just about every operating system ever invented; he leads the charge on TechTV's hottest tech show, The Screen Savers; he's the guy who used to voice Dev Null on MSNBC's The Site; he's someone you're going to meet face to face come August. Stay tuned.
