Just a quick note to check in from Mendoza, Argentina, and also mark the end of an era on dsz123.net - Blogger has served me well for 9 years, but they are discontinuing their FTP publishing option, and so it's time for me to move on (as soon I get around to it).
In the meantime, I'll be traveling up a storm and saving up stories to share when the blog is back online.
Chau!
In the better-late-than-never spirit (I didn't have the time or energy to plan before I left on my most recent China trip), I hosted the Pi(e) Party last night. It was a slightly lower-key affair than last year - fortunate since it was back at my apartment, which probably couldn't have held lots more people - but a great time just the same.
At the last minute, Jared & I got the idea to make a time-lapse video of the party. So I hooked up my Lifecam Cinema, downloaded Gawker (shareware for the Mac to create time-lapse movies), and let it rip:
Also, check out some great photos George took.
Travels continue and craziness abounds. In the next two months, I will be in Argentina, Chile (very briefly), China, Ithaca, Buffalo, China again, and oh, yes, Seattle, too.
In the meantime, it's extremely unlikely that I'll switch web hosting providers AND my blog from Blogger to [InsertBlogSoftwareNameHere] in very short order, so you'd be well advised to seek entertainment/fulfillment/schadenfreude elsewhere. For example, in kittens.
