It’s official: A koala is not a koala “bear”

According to the incredibly awesome Catherine Eibner, I’m going to TechEd Australia!! And I found this out on the same day that I donated the last of my advance on my book royalties, bringing the Save Waveland Scholarship Fund to $29,008.34 cents. Thank you everyone for voting to get me down to Australia.

    Very cool.  But what's wrong with those 89 people?

    You'll love it over there.  Eat a few "Tim Tams" for me, if you don't know what they are, you'll learn when you get there.  I won't suggest a beer to have, there were so many interesting ones that I lost count of them all. And don't just hope to have time to play tourist, make the time!  I was fortunate enough to recently do an Australian business trip (also for MSFT) and turned a 4 day training visit into a 11 day trip by the time I was done. Turns out the airline ticket was cheaper if I spent a longer time in Australia!  So I spent 5 days scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef as my obligatory tourist activity!
