Tomorrow we leave on our grand adventure in the UK! The house is mostly packed up and we’re pretty much ready to go. We’ll be spending some cool time with WeatherGirl‘s mum for a few days, and then head down to Colchester to find a place to live and school for Sub-Evil Boy.
The official purpose of the sabbatical is to do computer science research in evolutionary computation with cool people at the University of Essex in Colchester. I’m sure I’ll also be working on my blogging and photography quite a bit as well, and hopefully being a better on-line citizen (more time for comments and such).
This is the poster I made to hang by my office door for the year away to remind people why I never seem to answer when they knock. I wrestled quite a while with this because I kept trying to make a text document with a few pictures added. Lying in bed the other night it finally flipped and I realized that I wanted to make a document that was mostly pictures with a little text added, and voila! Probably comes from reading Scott McCloud’s excellent Understanding comics this summer, but it was fun!
