I’m here, but don’t have much time to blog, between getting truculent wireless connections working, family visiting, and working on a proposal with deadlines next week and telecons every day. I do want to note that there’s been a lot of discussion in this post on NSA “spying,” and while I don’t agree with commenter Jane Bernstein, I’m gratified to see that the level of discussion is informed, rational, and civil. May all my comments sections be that way.
