Tired and out of sync
So I should be finishing a book, and read danah boyd and her call for a boycott of locked-down academic journals. But I’m not. I’m tired, worn out, out of sync, in need of about 72 hours of perfect uninpeded sleep. Gave a talk yesterday to a rather sizable audience of entrepreneurs (and budding entrepreneurs), which was fun. But I tells ya, it takes it out of you. Also feel bad about not having quite come to grips with my intended project of using Issuu and Slideshare and media up my homepage (feel I’m falling behind the technical curve — as most professors are). Well, well…

So, flying back from Amsterdam, I had to check my luggage. I happened to have a nunchuck in my bag (as one does), and couldn’t get it through security. So I put it in cargo. Stupidly, I’d left one of my phones in there (forgot the damn thing), and obviously it got robbed. It was a nice bag (a Samsonite Pro-DLX Rolling Tote), it had a EuroBonusGold-tag, and a Priority label. Basically, it was a blinking “Rob This”-sign.
So, I lost my phone. Closed the number, try not to think of the integrity issue, hope the bloody thing is at least properly wiped. Some good things, though. I’ll now be rid of one phone number, and can get another one only a few people will have (keeping it secret, as well). I got around to changing my passwords, which was overdue. Try to see the silver lining. Still bugged about it, though.
