I’m headed back today from Brazil to the United States for two weeks to head up the Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop for Writers, and catch up on a few other things.  Delta already emailed me to confirm a complimentary first class upgrade, unfortunately only for the domestic leg (Atlanta to Denver), but it helps a lot after the all night trip.  I prefer the evening dinner flights for the upgrades, but I’ll take them when they give them to me.

The blogging might be a little more intermittent, but it might also get heavy this coming week.  We start officially on Wednesday, and usually a couple of the participants blog about their experience while it is going on.  Don’t know about the group this year yet.

We’re also adding a new feature: video.  That is, we’ll make videos of a bunch of the sessions, so if you’re interested in seeing me lecture, and a few other people (e.g. Joe Haldeman, Phil Plait, assorted other special guests), you’re in for a treat.  If not, well, don’t watch the things!  It should be hours and hours of content, however, and help provide some of the experience to a wider audience.  I’ll post links as we have them, which I hope isn’t too slow (I have a pro volunteer, if that term makes sense, so I’m optimistic).  I’ll have to get a haircut ASAP…
