Here's what I've been up to:
* I spent an afternoon at O'Reilly's Etech (emerging technology) conference in San Jose, and while I found the talks themselves kind of underwhelming (despite some promising starts), this Bicycle Built for Two Thousand project looked pretty cool.
* Alice and I sent several long emails back and forth on the subject of RaceFail 09 (with welcome guest appearance by Ryan), and while I don't think my thoughts are valuable enough to share publicly (better to foist them on friends!), I will say that Mary Anne Mohanraj's two-part essay on the subject at Whatever was super-valuable. I expect to return to her posts again and again as I think about these issues.
* Did I mention that the Watchmen movie was not very good?
* Yay. And yay.
