A big thunderstorm last night took out the DSL at Chateau Steelypips (and most of the 518 area code, it seems), and service is still out. So, if you're wondering why I haven't had any online presence since 5pm or so, that's why.
I'm going to deal with the essential stuff using my office Internet connection, but I do have a day job, and lots to do for that as well. I would've posted the Thursday Baby Blogging pictures for the week, but like an idiot, I forgot to copy them onto a USB drive to bring to work.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Normal service will be resotred as soon as possible.

I drove down to NYC yesterday to have dinner with some of my ScienceBlogs colleagues, and put faces to names. Seven or eight years ago, I probably would've driven back that night, but I'm old and settled, so I shelled out for a hotel room the size of our spare bedroom (maybe 9' square), and drove…
