The yin and yang of a Nor'easter's wind field in snowtober:
Farewell Taipei - great visit, great ogtai conference, and a great city.
Dessert at Silks Palace at ogtai - a tiny Bok Choi made of ...something good.
Notes from Irene
Up in Kennebunk, ME to do some work around the house, and ride out Hurricane (probably Tropical Storm) Irene. I'll be posting photos and videos of the storm here.
Saturday; August 27, 2011 08/11 17:38: The proverbial calm before the storm tonight. All the furniture and loose stuff brought in from outside, got all batteries charged etc. Some photos:
Sunday; August 28, 2011 10:05: Peak of the rain. You can see the marsh filling up and the creek going over its banks, even though it is one hour before high tide. The creek did not fill up as far as it had in other storms - it came nowhere near our deck.
Sunday; August 28, 2011 15:37 - Gooch's and Middle Beaches at the peak of the wind:
Good luck to all our friends in CT and MA who don't have power - it sounds like restoration is going to take a few days for everyone to be back on line.
Nice meeting you, Irene - don't hurry back...
Kickoff of CloudCamp Austin at ogaus - full house.
On double decker London bus to The Open Group dinner at the Tower of London.
