WIRED's NextFest was featured on the Science Channel last night as well as the evening news the night before.

Jeff doesn't receive WIRED magazine anymore but did for many years. I liked reading it, actually, because even though it was technology, it was more than just industry. Ya know?

Kenny often comments that he would like to visit the many science museums that he sees featured on the Science Channel. But usually these museums are across the country!

So, here's an opportunity for Jeff to take Kenny to a relatively close "museum," in the Jacob Javits Center, a very familiar venue to us from years of Unix Expo. The last Unix Expo was in '96? Has it been that long?

And Kenny would get to ride a train and have his first trip to NYC.

But when I suggested it to Jeff, he said sarcastically, "OK, I'll take him during the 'extra day' this weekend. The day between Saturday and Sunday." Like I said, he doesn't often think that my suggestions are good ideas. Maybe he has safety concerns. There's been a lot of talk these days about "the gap."

They don't have school on Monday for the holiday, so it's a shame that the convention doesn't last an extra day.

Well, it's an annual event, so maybe Jeff will take Kenny one of these years. The problem is that the older Kenny gets, the older his younger brother gets. I don't see how, next year, Jeff can take one and leave the other at home.
