Finally got an evening alone, thought I'd take the time to format some pictures from #ACES2024.
One important aspect to the weekend is who I get to meet. Reconnected with Peter Sokolowski (@merriamwebster), @RedPenRabbit (Rabbit with a Red Pen), @karenyin (Conscious Style Guide); met Martha and Grant of @wayword #podcast.
I could not get enough of the view of the marina from my bedroom. Sheraton screwed up my room—@Logophilius and I needed two rooms, not one—but they ended up providing me a better view in fixing the error.
Note: that contrail in the third photo got brighter and brighter as the night went on.
First picture: One of many slides in Peter Sokolowski's presentation "Englishing the World: How the Renaissance Shaped the First English Dictionary." Shown is a 1654 dictionary, where each entry has four languages, and each language has its own typeface.
Second picture: My favorite drink of the weekend, the Cimmaron. Because I was not live-tweeting, I took tons of notes and breaks to crib my thoughts.
Third picture: Oh, how I've missed California and the smell of the ocean.
