on welcoming the wandering readers...

First off, I'd like specifically welcome Rashenbo (who, as if she didn't have enough going on, what with trying to write a novel, post to her blog every day, and dealing with typical holiday stress, has decided to orchestrate a complete review of all of the blogs participating in NaBloPoMo). I know that in the next day or two, she'll likely be scanning across this blog, most likely after already reading sabominator's site (conveniently placed at the top of the "S" group). Yes, sabs and I sit together every night in the apartment and blog together. It's rather touching, in an antisocial, geeky love sort of way.

In other news, it looks like I'll be out in NorCal during the first half of December for work. We'll be visiting with some potential partner companies in the San Jose area, and it'll give me an opportunity to, hopefully, visit with Kurt, and possibly even my old college friend Ryan and chat about virtual reality and neuroscience over a cup of coffee.

Also, pursuant to my commitment earlier this month to try and do more photography, I've recharged the batteries in my 20D and wrapped some tape around the zoom ring on my Sigma 17-35mm, keeping it locked at 30mm, and have made space for it in my bag. I figure that if I'm happy with the stuff I start getting with that lens, I can justify buying the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 that's been plucking at my heartstrings. I plan to start uploading stuff to Flickr a bit more often, too.
