It’s been nice to be back in Seattle and know I’m here for a couple weeks in a row. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll be heading to China in March, so I’d better get my quality, at-home time in while I can.

It was a great weekend to be in town, what with the sixty-degree weather and clear skies. I played a bunch of frisbee yesterday, and spent plenty of time outside today. Unfortunately, I’m sure this is just fake spring (don’t tell the crocuses), but still, it’s nice to have a brief reminder that there’s better weather ahead.

I’ve been making slow progress on the robot arm – see updates on that page for more details. I’m pretty sure I won’t have the robot bartender finished by my birthday, but at least the arm will be moving by then.
