The summer travel season is hear again. It’s day 2 and we’re in West Lafayette, IN at Purdue. As with most trips, there have been a lot of technical issues right out of the gate, such as the new computer unlicensing my copy of Aperture. This has made it interesting trying to deal with photographs. But, luckily I have a copy of Adobe Lightroom to switch to. Now, I just have to figure out how to work it.
Krista figured out that we’ve been doing this every summer for about seven years now. The more we do it, the less we plan it. I’m not sure where we’ll go from here. I know I have to present a paper at RSA in Minneapolis next weekend, and Krista just finished hers at Computers and Writing today. So we’re free, for a while now. I just need to finish the damn paper between now and then. It dawned on me this morning when we were talking that writing is always about saying, tentatively, I plan on talking about something but I’m not quite sure what it is. Then, a few pages later you figure out what that thing really is. Then, the hard part– making what you’ve already written sound like you knew what you meant to say all along.
I turned on the old version 1 of this blog from 2001-2002, so it looks weird to see the old entries at the bottom of the page. They’ll scroll away soon enough. But it reminds me that, ultimately, I still haven’t figured out what I meant to say when I started writing this blog almost ten years ago.
