Nifty. Gotta get one when the prices go down. Last I checked, they're pretty steep, especially as you can buy a decent red one for <$10. And I have a bunch of lasers from drug reps - even got a laser pen engraved with my name, with back/forward controls for a computer for powerpoint presentations. They were giving out all sorts of cool things at the APA meetings.
For all you SD'ers...sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you this time. I was a lot busier than I expected to be. I'll be heading back soon enough though. Gotta visit a buddy (who, with his wife, was also my housing host in Carlsbad while I was there) before he gets deployed. So I'll probably go back in a month or two. Maybe another Castle visit as well.
Or a drive to the Reagan Library. Went to lots of interesting conferences, went into a virtual-reality (3d movie with separate left/right speakers by your ears and olfactory stuff) psychosis room, ate at "Bertrand's at Mr. A's" with some Pfizer people - damn good food and service, probably ate $250 worth of food, and had a nice cigar on the balcony while sipping scotch and watching the skyline.
Only G|Aer I got to hang out with was Roniman in Hollywood for a night. Damn good time.
If anyone finds any deals on a cheap but decent green beam, let me know.
