I’m blogging from the heart of hanging chad country, in Lauderdale by the Sea. I flew out here Friday, but didn’t have internet access until today. I’m sitting by the pool of the Shore Haven Inn, a block from the beach, on a wireless connection. The hotel even provides wireless access cards for laptops for guests (like me) who haven’t yet brought their machines up to date.

I see that there’s a lot of buzz in the blogosphere about the upcoming space policy announcement, and the comments section has been lively in my last post. I’ll be commenting on well, not all, but some of this after I get my bearings.
