I am posting this from a friend's office because we are without power at the moment, so I can't do anything online. We got hit with a nasty snowstorm overnight, very wet and heavy snow, and have been out of power since the middle of the night. Which, in the country, means no water as well as no lights and heat. So, I'll be back to post, answer comments, chat and answer e-mail as soon as I have power again. Hopefully soon.

This post has been written in advance and scheduled for automatic posting. At the time this post shows up, I'll be sleeping my first night in San Francisco. A few hours later, I'll be at PLoS offices and will hopefully have online access soon after so I can post my first impressions.

I'm sitting here in the dark and freezing. No, not really. It's not dark yet and it's hot and humid. But I have no power, except what's left in this laptop. Can't connect to the net because I use wifi at home and the router is electrical (if I get really desperate I'll crawl up to the study and…

Note: A cold, wet day in November seems like as good a day as any to talk about owning a wood cookstove, re-running a piece I first wrote in 2007. When people come to my house, they are often a little disappointed to see that it looks pretty much like other houses. But the wood cookstove really…
I hear ya about the cold weather, I mean it got pretty bad here yesterday, I had to put on a long sleeve shirty. Criminy!
Seriously, hope you get your juice back soon.
An ice storm took my power out for a week a couple of years ago. You'd better drink your milk while it's good!
Hi Ed,
Hang in there! I don't know much about snow having lived in Arizona for most of my life, but losing power is always trying.
Ed honey, it was so good to have you back on line last night. I don't need to tell you how much you were missed:-)
Thanks honey. It's amazing how dependent we become on technology. My entire day was shot. I couldn't do any business at all. Quite annoying. But I'm back.
