Site issues: I'm trying to keep the right column of this site updated, but Blogger lost my current template and has reverted back to the March pre-SXSW template. I haven't had time to go through the current source code and strip out the blog content, and get everything organized again, so ... It'll get done this weekend, perhaps.

Summer sunburn: Rather than go for the spectacular, once a year, all-over sunburn, I've decided to go about it in bits and pieces this year. At Bay to Breakers last weekend, I burned just the part in my hair. This last Sunday, I burned the bridge of my nose (because I put my glasses on before the sunscreen) and a lovely crescent on my chest that describes the difference in area between where I put sunscreen on above my tank top, and where the tank top slipped in the course of the day. I think I burned a different part in my hair as well, since pain when I brush my hair seems to be more general than it was last week. Hey, at least my back doesn't hurt anymore. Skin cancer, here I come!

Friends: I recently sent out a note to a few friends, saying that it had been quite a while since I had done anything with my friends that didn't involve either only one other person or a 50-person party. Last night's gathering was just the right size - small enough that no one was left out of the conversation, but large enough that when some wanted to discuss contraception or technology, those not interested had someone else to talk to. It was an experiment, and the results were favorable.
