Some of you may already know that Wednesday is a ‘special’ day for me. 34 years ago on Wednesday, my mom and dad and a few doctors met me for the first time. And I like my mom and dad a lot (the doctors are cool too, although we don’t really keep in touch)… so yeah… ‘special’ day.

In honor of it, and as a way to forget the fact that one more year of my life is over… I’m going on a little field trip with some friends.

As I get closer to the day, I’ll reveal more. But here’s what I’ll say for now:

On August 26th, 2009 from 11am to 1pm PST we’re gonna be given a tour of a seriously bad ass local. It’s pretty famous, super nerdtacular, and the work they do there there is just out of this friggin world!!! Can you tell I’m excited.

This just came together over the last few days, so I’m still trying to figure out how I’m gonna organize everything. But my plan is to keep all of you as up to the minute as I can. That means twitter, tumblr, and this blog. But it also perhaps means some live streaming video via qik.com. I say perhaps because I’m not sure about reception there… and I’d have to figure out the hardware situation between now and then.

But there should be pictures galore, both during and after… some vimeo video uploaded on Thursday… and of course as many tweets, tumbles, and FB junk as I can hammer out there… without annoying my company too much. In case you hadn’t guessed, yeah, I’m one of those guys.

So until then, watch my various streams for clues to where I’m going… and if you wanna take a guess, you can do so in the comments here (please don’t tweet the answer publicly though). If you’re right, I won’t approve your comment and I’ll give you a high five via twitter, FB, email, or here.
