This is going around again (I think Kottke is Patient Zero), so here's a list of places where I spent at least one night in 2008 (other than Niskayuna, where we live):
- Albany, NY (I spent four nights in a smoking room-- I get to count it on the list)
- Boston, MA
- Lewisburg, PA
- State College, PA
- Tewksbury, MA
- Waterloo, Ontario
- Whitney Point, NY
- Williamstown, MA
I feel like I must be forgetting something, but I can't think what. We really did cut back on travelling this year, because of SteelyKid showing up in August.
Where did you go this year?

Today is the first day of Aaron's and my new "Finding Your Place" Course (for anyone who would still like to join, we've got two remaining spots and since the class is asynchronously online, you won't miss anything by starting today or tomorrow - email me at Jewishfarmer@gmail.com). I've been…
In the last couple of weeks, I have suddenly acquired a rather full travel schedule for the coming months. The odd thing is that none of these trips are book-publicity junkets-- they're all basically professional-type appearances, several of them taking place before How to Teach Physics to Your Dog…
Since everybody I know on Facebook seems to have done this, it seems I'm obliged to post a list of twenty-five random facts. I wouldn't want to have my Internet License revoked, or anything.
I've always been tall-- I'm not one of those tall people who was 5'7" in the tenth grade, and then shot up…
* Warrenville, IL when I visit Fermilab,
* Emeryville, CA when I visit LBNL,
* Irvine, CA,
* Philadelphia, PA,
* Pittsburgh, PA,
* Madison, WI,
* Annapolis, MD,
* Geneva, Switzerland when I visited CERN.
Compared to the other folks in my office, I am a real stay-at-home. The majority of my trips are to Fermilab. I pile up those frequently flier miles in 500 mile increments. I went to a big international conference this year, but it was held in Philadelphia, my hometown, at my alma mater.

As with Chad, I have an unexpected entry on this list (Lynnwood) due to weather problems. Too many people in the Seattle area can't deal with snow, unfortunately including the people whose job it is to clear the streets and keep the buses running. (See Dave's "Villa Sophia Skiing" entry for more.)
Just returned with my 3 guests (son, his girlfriend, and a former dotcom business partner) from the Rose Bowl.
