Upgrading to a MacBook Air is nearly complete. Upgrading is a good time to go and buy lots of new small, fast, empty backup disks.

Wondering why Jan is not at the IMS meeting yet.

I am in Long Beach. And I love Winter - but it *is* nice to get away for a few days and be jacketless. IMS LTI is awsome.

Good week - the MLK holiday and code weekend ended up with about 30 hours working on Sakai - got some stuff done and more stuff started.
