Renesas DevCon 2008 and ESC 2009

In the a span of a week I won a free entry to Renesas Developer's Conference 2008, plus air fair discount in San Diego CA, this October, and I was asked if I was interested in speaking at the 2009 Embedded Systems Conference, in San Jose, CA.

Alas I had to decline both due to my father being in poor health right now.

Have your ever felt like opportunity was knocking on the door, but all you were doing was complaining about the noise?
