A few brief programming notes:
1. I am working on a design for the site (rather than a default Blogger template), I hope it will be ready by monday. The design will allow me to have some peripheral content, such as links to my friends' sites and some other non-trip related items. I have mad photoshop skillz.
2. As I mentioned, I hope the new design will be ready by monday, but I am notoriously bad at time estimates, as well as self motivation.
3. The design will probably feature some Google ads. Sorry, but I have no other income currently ;)
4. I am not going to update every day. I'm hoping to update 5 times a week, but there may be weeks when there are only 2 updates, maybe even less. Frankly, these things take forever to write, particularly futzing with the photos and links, though I hope that as I get more practice, they will be faster. Also, when I write, I don't always have an access point, so sometimes the articles actually may be posted the day after the writing.
5. I haven't yet figured out the best way to present the photos, hoping to figure that out as soon as the design is done.
6. San Dimas High School Football Rules! 1 point if you get this. Difficulty: easy. Leave it in the comments.
8. I have some articles that are in the draft stage now that are from earlier in the year, which I am going to pre date when I post them, so they show up chronologically in the archive. When I do that, I'll also link to them in a new post.
9. I don't think I've ever written anything brief in my life, belying my program notes heading above.

Whoa, check it out. My blogger account is still active, three years after I stopped using it. Awesome.
Didn't realize you were already on the road. Then again, it doesn't come as surprise; I thought you would have started sooner, in fact.
Does that mean there's not gonna be annual college drinkfest this summer? I think we had one last year a week after the 4th of July. Since there's been no chatter about it, clearly it won't happen in a couple weeks. Perhaps after you're done touring the country or something.
What did you end up settling with for a GPS? The nerd in me needs to know. :)
Ok, this comment is turning more into a journal entry, so I think I'll shut up now. :p
