END OF SUMMER, NEW DISCOVERIES
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

You can always tell when a DEMO conference is just a few weeks
away because I begin to sort and organize and otherwise occupy
my time with activities other than writing program notes and
working on opening remarks. I like to think that my ideas are
percolating during this flurry of activity, but all I really
know for sure is that at least once a year, my garage is clean
and you can see the wood grain on my desk.

This is also a journey of discovery - like the original Rex
organizer that I found in the bottom of a box behind some old
paint cans (don't ask me how it got there). A few more current
items resurfaced from my desk, perfect fodder for an end of
summer column.
