Well, I've just had my second flight cancellation from London-Boston in 24 hours, and my new flight doesn't land until 5PM. As many of you know, I'm scheduled to be speaking at MIT's Bartos Theater at 5PM, which means I'm going to be late. Someone's picking me up at the airport and I'm going to sit as far forward on the plane as I can, so with any luck I won't be too late. Luckily, we've got a great big block of time booked for my talk — 5PM-7PM with a subsequent reception until 9PM, so with any luck you'll be able to entertain yourselves for a bit until I get there. Just cross your fingers and hope for short lines at the Department of Homeland Security checkpoint.
Cory's gonna be late to his MIT talk tonight
