In August you implied that your readers should take my travelogue in Cuba with a grain of salt since they were "reading the accounts of a super-<strong>libertarian</strong> in a super-socialist country…" Emphasis added. ;)

I think it's your fault, and HP. As far as the protestors are concerned ...what ever happened to creativity?

But Cindylu, having a panel that discusses latino weblogs and community that centers upon education, social, political, and religious implications as well as some damn good creative writing, doesn't sound too farfetched to me. I know a guy (the dude that started Consumating) that got a panel together on funny weblogs. C'mon this has more significance it might work. :P I’m afraid of stats.

Just wish I had more time. And yeah, both you and Moreno shoulda been there - can't depend on New Yorker's these days. I saw a sign for that show you were telling me about, but there just wasn't enough time. ecto is ok, but it sorta seems like just one more thing to keep track of. I'm trying out MarsEdit also ... but I might go without either. Definitely good and interesting. Just wish I had more time.

And congrats on the non-exploding after using the command line. :) Glad you had a good and interesting time.
