Will update the blog tomorrow, we hope. Still processing everything that happened; organizing photos, etc. To come: Pinnipeds, Pinheads, and Books Galore (that’s one entry each, not one entry with a funky title).
Reading two books right now, with several in the queue:
Anathem (Neal Stephenson)
Feathered Dinosaurs (Schouten and Long; read Darren Naish’s review)
On deck:
The Dinosauria (Weishampel et al.)
Your Inner Fish (Neil Shubin)
A Plague of Frogs (William Souder)
There are even more in the pile, but I can’t even count them yet… One that’s in the wish list is Holtz and Rey’s Dinosaurs, just out last year. I’ll need it to counterbalance Weishampel’s quite technical Dinosauria.
UPDATE: Here’s the complete list, just for historical interest:
