A few weeks ago, a band of thieves stole a 2 million dollar gold bar weighing 220 pounds from a museum in Japan. When the AP reporter called the museum for comment, he was apparently turned away. As the story reports:
The museum was closed for an "emergency holiday" on Monday and could not be reached.
Some timing they have with their emergency holidays. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just shut down for an emergency holiday whenever it becomes necessary? This is all a long way of saying that I too have come to the conclusion that I need to declare an emergency holiday, and while I don't believe I've done anything as stupid as leaving an extremely valuable gold bar sitting out with no security or even a plexiglases cover, it has been a long year.
As such, I'm declaring a holiday and heading out Friday to Boston for the Mozilla DevDay to reconnect with everyone and get back into the swing of things. With increasingly treacherous school commitments, I haven't had much time lately to do much of anything Mozilla-related besides keep a few things going and pop into irc to heckle folks every now and then. I've officially agreed to intern with MoCo again this summer, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's been going on over the past several months and seeing everyone again. Based on the Wiki, there's an insane number of people coming out to Boston, so it should prove to be quite the event.
From there, I'm visiting friends in the area and heading down to NYC to be with some family for Passover. After that, it's back up to Ithaca and into the pre-finals grind, but there's no reason to think about any of that now: I'm on emergency holiday!
