I'm back from my weeklong summerschool. We spend the preceding weekend visiting some friends and enjoying a walk in beautiful Twente and I figured I'd post a quick update here when I'd get to the conference center/retreat/old monastry, but as it turned out, they had no internet access there whatsoever. No public computers, no easily accessible phone jacks, and that is a good thing I think...
We spend a week with little distraction and our common goal to make as much of that time as possible: the pressure cooker effect. Most presentations were really good and Steve Woolgar managed to keep us on our toes and remained provocative throughout the week. I think I haven't slept more than 4 hours per day that week, because instead of dying down, discussions flared up and raged on during breakfast, lunch, dinner and deep into the night. It's been a long while (if ever) that I spend so much of my day amongst a bunch of such smart people, my brain pushed to its hundred percent limit almost all the time. I have a lot of good ideas and gained some practical insights that will last me for quite a while.
Back on the job though and loads of e-mail to wade through, a bunch of meetings and guest lectures lined up. Browsed the web a bit yesterday, still a bit too groggy to post here. Good to notice nothing much has changed. I thought this was pretty cool though: Poke the Penguin

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
