If anybody wants to just have a look at the slides without the context of the rest of the class material, I put the screenshots here: https://atelier.wilsonscoffee.com/s/XDxd2rptz9w9kHK

Considering making a video out of my expo workshop slides. It can't realistically be the full class since random viewers on the Internet won't have the coffee to taste, but it might be a useful resource for other instructors who want to put together a similar class.

Kringle for breakfast. Still need a post-trip grocery run.

The cat was ready to come home. Just finished her house patrol and now ready for cuddles.

Today's lunch.

It was more symmetrical before I took a sip.

Decided to track down the author of that poster that I saw the typo (missing decimal point) in and they've gone back and wrote in the decimal point. Easy fix.

Also got a couple new cat pics.

Got some surprise volunteer merch. Another little scale, a dripper that nobody in my area sells filters for, a couple shirts. Unexpected, but nice.

Finished delivering my class. I think it was well received.

New book, signed. I didn't tell him what to write.

The other book looks rather math heavy, but a quick glance through I think I remember how to read everything that's going on there.

Picked up a bunch of trade magazines and a couple new books. One of the books is signed.

Found out who is teaching the workshop after mine now that I know it's not the usual instructor. The original materials weren't shared so it's a completely different take on the class.

Overhearing people nearby looking forward to my workshop. I don't think they've realized that I'm at the next table over yet.

Also checked out the scientific posters. Someone I know has one up and I'm debating if I should point out the unfortunate typo (missing decimal point) in the results summary.

When I saw the title of the lecture, my immediate reaction was, "oh no, this could be such a train wreck." But then I saw who was delivering that and changed my opinion to, "okay, I'd like to hear what he has to say on that topic."

Because I'm staying at a hotel right across the street from the convention center, I can apparently connect from the little patio area where there are tables I can use to work on stuff between things I'm interested in. There's a roasting lecture from a consultant based not too far from me that I plan to check out soon.

I've been getting my daily proof of life photos of the cat.

Having a coffee made with basically an oversized teabag. It takes a lot of agitation for that to work, which I think diminishes the value of the concept, but it's not bad.
