I flew to Toronto this morning on a tiny-ass jet and landed at 11:30 am. It took me a while to drop the bags off and pick up my badge, but now I'm sitting in air-conditioned comfort at the Sutton Place and surfing on truly excellent wifi. The new upstairs wifi media lounge is closed ("not open until Friday"....cool!) but the downstairs wifi room has more room for laptop guys like myself and fewer flatscreens, which is excellent in terms of breathing space.

Downstairs press/indusry wifi room at Sutton Place.

Do I even need to get a SIM card? All my regular iPhone calls are being forwarded to my Gizmo5 phone and everyone's voice message is dropped into my email box as an mp3.

I'm not a fan of the hot weather outside. At all. It feels like Kansas in August with asphalt and sweat and fatigue. What happened to the idea of fall starting after Labor Day? I'm not expecting sweater weather but is it too much to ask for moderate fair-breeze warmth in Toronto, Ontario, in the middle of friggin' September?

"I'm not a fan of the hot weather outside. At all. It feels like Kansas in August"

Wednesday weather in Toronto, ON:

High: 75F
Low: 59F
Current: Mostly Cloudy
Wind: SE at 10 mph
Humidity: 65%

In short, whichever August you're comparing this to, you weren't in Kansas anymore.

Hang in there, it looks like it will be getting even cooler towards the end of the week.

Excellent wifi is the equivalant of a good orgasm in Jeff's world.

Jeff - we've had the worst summer ever.
You have to allow us a few 75-80 days (and I'll grant you, it feels closer to the latter today). Still, it's hardly blistering out.
Keep that iPhone close, man.

I'm actually happy the weather is still warm. I hate and loathe winter/cold weather.

enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Also, your ID card is pretty nifty.

I'm just happy to see your pass says "Hollywood Elsewhere". I remember a few years back when you posted a picture when you're credentials read "Movie Poop Shoot". I still cringe at the thought. . . .

The funny thing about that pic is that it is like 10 yrs old. wells looks like an old man, now.

Agreed on the PoopShoot thing. I recall Wells being on some panel at some thing and he was introduced as from that web site and the crowd was laughing at him.

Does your ID card say "tiff" in anticipation, or is that standard? I kid because I love.

Also have everyone seen the UP IN THE AIR teaser yet? Whoa.

Love it or hate it, "Movie Poop Shoot" was where I discovered Wells. I haven't been to that website in years, but I read HE every day.
