No Injured Reserve List for Bloggers

Yesterday was shaping up to be a great day. Monday’s rain and cold had yielded to bright sunshine, and I was in Washington, DC for a full day of immersion in data center news and networking at the DataCenterDynamics Washington conference. As I emerged from the Metro station, I misjudged a high curb and took a nasty fall. After a brief attempt to make a go of the conference, I wound up at the emergency room being treated for a sprained ankle and a broken left arm.

So today I am adjusting to life as a one armed blogger, at least for the next few weeks. The good news is that I’m right-handed, and thus can still take notes. I’ve also gotten reasonably handy with Dragon Naturally Speaking dictation software, which I began using last year during a carpal tunnel flare-up. Nonetheless, posting may be slightly lighter than usual in the next several days as I get acclimated.
