My colleague Jessica and I were scheduled to be in Chicago today for a 1-day Yahoo! Search Marketing seminar, but half way into our trip we experienced some horrendous winter-weather driving conditions (aka snow-fall, wind, and a million semi-trucks kicking up snow and blinding us) and we were forced to turn around and return to the office.

The seminar was to be about Yahoo's new ad platform (project Panama) and their new ad-ranking system... both are topics that I really wanted to dive into. I'm really bummed that we missed it. Oh well!

Some of the highlights of the trip included:

• Being scared from seeing the multiple car's that were in the ditches
  
  
• An emergency stop at a rest-stop to clear my windshield and wiper blades (To which Karl kept repeating "I can't see! I can't see!" - Jessica)
  
  
• Jamming out to Mexican music (we don't speak or understand Spanish) (Ciento Siete punto Nueve! - Jessica)
  
  
• Jessica grabbing the "Oh Shit Bar" every time we couldn't see the vehicle in front of us
  

And proof that the trip wasn't a complete loss... a White Castle "Crave Case":
