Off to Vegas

Well, I've just spent three days writing...the "manuscript" is starting to actually look like something where the scare quotes can be removed around that word....But now I must shift into public speaking mode again. Tomorrow the rent car and I will be heading from Flagstaff slightly northwest to Las Vegas, which should make for a very pretty drive. I'm not sure if I'll get to Sin City in time for the Yearly Kos Science Bloggers Caucus tomorrow (schedule here), but I will certainly be ready to speak alongside PZ, General Clark, and Wendy Northcutt Friday morning. More generally, I am getting very psyched for Yearly Kos; EVERYONE seems to be heading to Vegas this weekend....and, as I said before, it will be an honor to meet General Clark, and to address the Netroots....

P.S.: Thanks to everyone who offered helpful suggestions with respect to the hacking problem. I have been secluded in AZ largely without Internet, so dealing with it has been a real pain in the ass. But I think things will be better soon, and that a permanent redirect will be set up from my old site so that it takes you straight here. It's something I should frankly have done quite a long time ago....

When I first decided to go to Las Vegas for YearlyKos, I thought I would just tag along with my husband, who was representing Progress Now. I figured I'd do some shopping, maybe some sightseeing, and definitely some rockhounding along the drive there and back. When I saw a number of science related…
I've been off at the big meeting, and it's been a long and tiring weekend in Las Vegas. It's been strange, too: we're surrounded by slot machines and show girls, and our crowd hardly notices them; I took a moment to step outside, and I had to tell my wife, "the sunshine…it hurts…" and we went back…

I just watched you speech - sadly not in person... but the streams on AAR are pretty good.
I wanted to say, you're a great speaker - and your points were great, you were a fantastic follow up to Clark.
Huge thanks, and huge props to the great delivery.
