Well, I'm very close to getting my apartment in NYC -- in the West Village. 

I've also noted that a bunch of people don't know that I'm becoming bi-coastal, splitting my time between Berkeley and NY for the next year. 

I also have recently been appointed a Visiting Scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Institute of Journalism at NYU. I've updated my bio on the home page of scripting.com to indicate this. 

I'm also walking a ton and loving it. This city is built for walking, even in cold weather, there's tons of eye candy, and places to stop and gawk.  

And I keep thinking of people to connect with here.  

It's the Big City, and I already feel right at home. ">
