I got a talisman in the mail a few weeks ago. It is one of a kind, and I take it as a good omen.

I'm on a 9:55 pm flight to NYC because I forgot to look at the whole am/pm thing when I booked. It actually worked out, because I needed an office/lab day. Forever Labs is most of what occupies my time. A normal day is cell culture, fix something/set something up/figure something out in the lab, answer questions for staff or docs, have a phone call meeting or two, have an in person meeting or two, deal with some administrative stuff, troubleshoot a random issue, and make some headway on a project. Interviews, lawyer things, investors, events, and a good amount of travel fills in the rest. It actually sounds pretty manageable, but a couple of these things always takes up more time than they should. I like it. It's just busy.

On the side, insomniasexx (who is plenty busy herself) and I have been rebuilding Tin-Can. Actually, we've been having it built by a very impressive shop. We just got the MVP yesterday, and it works beautifully. If you recall the first version, wifi hotspot carrier and manufacturer fragmentation fucked it up. The new TC uses wifi direct, BLE or ultrasonic NFC. It never connects to the internet. It'll be a bit before we release it, but it looks like it will be both Android and iOS this time around. Pretty happy about it.

Now in Uber headed to a short hotel sleep before a doc meeting tomorrow and conference tomorrow.
