The Magic of OZ

We've been in Brisbane for four days now. In many ways it feels like coming home. It's a place we love. Our first days remain a bit of a blur thanks to the 32-hour trip, but the rest have been filled with renewing acquaintances with old friends and walking the South Bank parklands marveling at the changes that have taken place in the two years we've been away. (Where did that mile-high ferris wheel come from? Look at what a difference a little rain made on the bougainvillea. And where, exactly, will the new ABC building fit?) As for meetings, it's been mostly tech talk. Fortunately, our networking needs seem to be falling into place. We're even going stumbling later today, looking for the Wi-Fi nodes that will establish the perimeter of the South Bank Sound Garden.
