Find me that horizon.

aeliel and I are almost finished packing for the Kosciusko trip. Tent of epic proportions. Food pile of epic proportions. New 1GB card for my camera. Map to futurelegend's house. First aid kit ready for the End Times*.

Once it's all packed into the car, we're heading over to see fetnas and geserit, and to wave goodbye to 2006. It's been a good year, if a bloody hard one. I wrote a lot, learned a lot, and completely changed careers after leaving CSIRO. I might not be any closer to answering the "so, what exactly do you want to do?" questions, but I'm covering a lot of ground while I think about what that answer may be.

Tomorrow morning we head up north and look for mountains to climb. Sounds like a fine way to usher in a new year.

Happy (preemptive) New Year, all. I'll see you on the other side.

Thanks :) I already want to go back and climb the bits I missed... it's nice up there.

By the way - who is this?

uh, hi! i think i found you originally because you had philosophy of science listed as an interest. i've been around Melbin Yewni since 2000, and i know insomnius and thekit. i look something like the icon above.

(i did a fair amount of bushwalking and cross country skiing as a kid, which was why this post particularly interested me.)

Cool. We've probably crossed paths at some point... I've been around the uni since '98, and spent a few years doing HPS subjects. I look nothing at all like my icon, so if you see someone who doesn't look like a praying mantis, there's a slim chance it's me :)

ok!
i haven't actually done any HPS subjects (unless you count Cybersociety, which i did in 2005). i know a few people who have studied HPS, though, and it seems pretty interesting. especially the philosophy part.
