It the first morning of the HSS meeting here in Vancouver and as usual I spent yesterday evening reconnecting with people. Highlight was, of course, meeting Janet, John, David and Ben for cocktails. There will be pictures, I promise you.
My morning is full - indeed I have to head to a session on science & religion in a few minutes - and my afternoon has a Philosophy of Science Association session on organisms and models. The evening will no doubt feature fine dining and good beers.
Oh, and it's raining ... a lot.
More later as needed.

Yesterday, I spent a wonderful day in Greensboro, most of it on the NC A&T campus attending ConvergeSouth. I am still trying to recover from the event, so this post is just a big Hello to everyone I met there and another post about buidling online communities inspired by the meeting will follow…
As a famous lady recently said: "I'm back". At last - having just returned from the Peter Wellnhofer Flugsaurier Conference (held at the Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie [BSP] in Munich) - conference season is at an end and I can try to return to normal life. At the risk of spouting…

A quick update on the Milwaukee events....
The first time I went to Mocha's (much better wifi than the hotel and it is free) I saw a familiar face walk in - from Scifoo! World is small. She promised to come to the Science Blogging Conference (I am leaving the name out so not to play Gotcha later…
Holy crap! Everyone's here! Yes, it was something of a Noachian deluge last night, wasn't it? As for beers, if you want to do something particularly Canadian, try the Maple Cream Ale. Some might call it blasphemous, but it's also an experience. It might not end up being a good experience...
Welcome to Vancouver.
Really, it's been quite a nice fall. Hardly any rain at all, til now. Grin. You may think this is a lot, but consider it might now continue more or less steadily for months. 1100 mm in a year isn't such a lot, is it?
If you are a cliché collector, now's your chance. Wet coast, liquid sunshine and webbed toes are just to get you started.
Would have been interesting to meet you and the others, but the last ferry is at 9:15 pm which means leaving before things have barely started. When do you have to head back?
Whether you could or would find the time, the Body World exhibit is at Science World.
