Phbbbbt.

I really enjoy road trips, when they go well. And our girls were, all things considered, angels. We're here, and safe.

And the phbbbt noise comes from the reactions of three educated people when the following concept comes up in conversation:

Scanning Electron Phrenology.

Because, y'know, maybe it was actually a good idea - they just didn't have the resolution in the Victorian era.

On other notes, some neat Heresy structure came out of the trip, which I'll assemble for the core team. And it sounds like Iron Game Chef will be a go, sometime in the early new Year. Star and I will be working on a funky trophy, and I'm still tempted to also publish the resulting games in a small print run and actually sell a few. Tentative format will be a first round, 90 minutes, judged by the current Iron Chef (which I'll assume to be me, locally, this year). Second round, 60 minutes, face off against the Iron Chef, for the title (which will be guaranteed to move away from the incumbent).

I reiterate: if you're actually interested in competing or judging, pick up that email composer now and tell me you're interested. That's eric(AT)heresy.ca, if you didn't know already. And if you live out-of-town (Ken?) and are nonetheless interested, I can probably hook you up with a local teammate with webconferencing capabilities.
