Japan, Hong Kong, Boston

Hi friends. It has been a very long time since I've posted here. I feel like the blog has wound down fairly permanently, but I decided I would post in case you happened to look here. I could update many friends on Facebook, but I currently have a deep hatred of fb and am trying to give it as little traffic as possible.

So what's exciting? Some travel, some moving. Dude, I just checked at is was November that I put anything up here. Well, in December, I was in Barcelona for a conference. So, Spain is awesome -- at the conference dinner each place setting had like 5 distinct glasses (one for Cava, white wine, red wine... perhaps a water glass, etc.). I was hoping for some relief from the Canadian cold there, but 5 degrees feels really cold when you don't have your winter coat and it's windy.

But up next is a 3 week trip to Asia at the end of June. I'm going to Japan, and Hong Kong. Thoughts?

Finally, I've moving to Boston for about 10 months, going to be a visiting student at MIT for the 2010-11 school year.
