Crunch Time

Just a couple of quick notes on the run. Busy, busy, busy these days.

The conference is next week. Everything is falling nicely into place - the program is taking its final shape, the swag is growing and we have 160 people registered so far - only a couple of more spots left. Lots of things to do over the next few days to make sure that everything goes well.

The anthology is in its final proofreading phase - watch this place for the Big Announcement!

I also have to clean the house as we are having guests on Sunday, and the kids are both at home sick today (and there is no school on Monday for MLK day) so they need some attention (and some computer time as well).

So, blogging will be VERY light over the next few days, with only an occasional pre-scheduled post unless there are some big breaking news I feel I need to comment on.

In the meantime, you can keep delurking, you can make me a library card (and I'll post the ones I like the best) like all my SciBlings are doing, or you can ask for future posts explaining some basic terms and concepts of my field - see how Chad explains what that is all about.

Finally, do a good deed today and help out Gary.

This is what I posted on February 23, 2006, about eleven months ago. As you can see, both from my post, and from the comments, the idea was to have some kind of BloggerCon devoted to science blogging, almost like a giant MeetUp where a bunch of science bloggers can get together, finally match the…
