It was great to reconnect with friends and colleagues this past week during Photoshop World in Miami. The only bad thing was that I never got to see the beach! Not even once. Arg.
The world's most perfect travel computer case by Briggs-Riley. See how perfectly it fits under the seat?
And this is the window seat, which is even smaller than the middle or aisle. Brenthaven, take notice! You need to make this bag :)

I had a great time but I'm glad to be home. Thanks to iStockphoto for sending me to Miami!
