In NY this week 

I've spent the week in NY on business and family stuff, having a nice time, but I didn't bring warm-enough clothes.

We're definitely in transition here, I now write for a lot of places, and Scripting News has become very quiet.

Pointers to all my writing can be found on protoblogger.com.

Uncle Arno's books found a home 

In October I wrote a post looking for a home for books written by my great-uncle Arno Schmidt. The books were left to us by his sister, my grandomother, who was keeping them for him in the US.

Turns out most American universities with a German Studies department already have complete sets of his writing.

However, Timm Menke of Portland State University posted an enthusiastic comment under my post. We exchanged emails, talked on the phone and we quickly decided that they would provide the best home for his work in the US.

Yesterday the books arrived in Portland. If anyone is looking for a good collection of Arno Schmidt's work in the US, selected by the author, you should look to Portland State University.
