Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

Developer, designer, musician, recording engineer. In other words, I like to make things

G'day Brisbane. Nice to meet you.

I was waiting patiently, but looking at you now, it's all too clear why I had to leave.

Just stepped off of the plane in Melbourne. God I love this place.

This plane is packed full of people and they are all quite grumpy. Only 14 hours to go.

About to board the plane to Auckland. Looking forward to a VB and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

It's 58 degrees in LA. Danenberg had to put a sweatshirt on for our walk to the Qantas terminal.

Touched down in LA. Now a layover for a few hours and definitely some beers.

Done with security. Having a Budweiser waiting to board our flight to LA.

@Melp682 Thanks for the heads up. I'm all over it.

At the Quicktrip in Lawrence. Corn nuts check. Ready to rock.

On my way out of town. Cheers Manhappiness. It's been real.

Just wired up some pretty smooth geo-stuff using brightkite for recording the locations I stop at during my trip.

@mills_jeff Thanks mate. I'll be back. More than likely. There's a fairly solid chance. Anything is possible.

Online checkin for Southwest 23 hours and 45 minutes before my flight, and was put into group B. Too many people on the Internets these days

Officially sick just a couple of days shy of my trip. Really hoping I am feeling better by Friday, otherwise this could be a painful trip.

@faustman Have fun, and make sure to enjoy the hell out of your trip.

@lyndalcairns Do you have any recommendations on a good hotel/Hostel in Brisbane?

@jcroft I think we are moving towards doing a lot more serious stuff with Django, so that's definitely good.

@jcroft No it's closed to K-State folks only. Don't worry, you aren't missing much :)

My first K-State Django project is out the door. Now I will hibernate until my trip.

@worksology Very cool. I like the design, simple, elegant. Great job!

Wow. Skittles replaced their entire site with their twitter search feed. I'd hate to be the web guy at this company: [1]

In a meeting, talking about twitter.

I'm quite tired of trying to figure out all of the details my of my trip. Maybe I should just say fuck it and do it live.

@picholine That's awful news, I'm really sorry to hear that. :(

Just got a huge weight pushed out and am feeling incredibly relieved. Now just a handful of things to figure out before I leave the U.S.

In preparation for my trip, just watched an excellent Aussie film: Latana. Highly recommended.

@Melp682 Definitely. I was already picturing myself traveling around Australia with a wallet full of Traveler's Checks :P

I seriously think I just lost my debit card. Five days before I'm supposed to leave for Australia. Excellent.
