Greg Egan has a homepage.

The Germany photos are all processed. After I write a thing to easily edit photo descriptions and then after I add descriptions to the photos, I mean to to a bit of a travelogue here. I don’t think that getting this done within the next two days is overly ambtious. Until then, here’s proof of the journey:

Thankfully, I’m going to be working on some things from home for the next few weeks and then possibly doing a gig in Des Moines, so perhaps no travel for three weeks.

Yeah!

The torch has been passed…

The Hyperion Cantos (a series of science fiction books) has inspired me to read some Keats. John Keats plays a huge roll in Dan Simmon’s Hyperion universe.
Keats the poet - whose name was writ in water - has a number of thing right on. One of which is:

"the excellence of every Art is its intensity"

Keats died when he was 25.

It’s snowing in Ames!

Back from Frankfurt -> Chicago -> Minneapolis -> Ames. Pictures are being processed (699 of them). They should be all finished when I wake up.

Back in Franfurt after a week across Germany. Flight tomorrow at 14:00 something GMT plus 1 and back into Mineapolis at 6:00PMish central time 10/26.

I’m in a cheezy internet cafe. Look at the freaky keyboard: “Müncher Strasse”. Wheee.

Over 500 pictures and (depending on my energy) a lot of words this weekend.

Back from Albuquerque via O’Hare (suddenly I have a strange feeling of that french word) and back home by noon. Still lots of work to finish this evening. If you have email in my queue waiting for a reply, I know about it… please be patient.

To the Fatherland on Friday.

New phrase: "Celebrate the eliteness". I have high hopes for this one. Seems quite elite.

Back in Ames from Albuquerque via Chiacgo O’Hare yesterday afternoon.

Albuquerque Airport and Sandias from my Wyndham hotel window:

Paperwork today. On the road back to Albuquerque at 6:30AM tomorrow morning.

Astronomy Picture of the Day. I check it out each day, you should too.

Progress watch:

Fall is clearly here in Iowa. Mowed the lawn yesterday for perhaps the last time this season. Visible frost on the back lawn this morning.
