Lunar Eclipse tonight!

There is a lunar eclipse tonight! It will be visible from all of North America, and part of will be visible from South America, Asia, west Europe, west Africa, NZ and Australia. On the US east coast, it will peak at 3:17am apparently.

There is also a meteor shower -- the Ursids, which will appear to fan out from the Little Bear constellation, according to the news.

It is also winter solstice for the northern hemisphere.

Where am I showing up in the next month or two

My laptop is being repaired, so blog updates are a little tricky.

Update on where you can see me and my comics in Boston:
* Last Thursday, I was at MIT's winter craft Fair, selling minicomics.
* I wasn't at Boston Bizarre Bazaar, but I had a few books at a table there.
* I think I will be around Arisia and Boskone this January and February.

24 hour comics, party this Friday at Atomic Bean, DC rally, icy puddles

Quick update on what I have been up to:

* A 24 hour comics event.

* Traveling to Washington DC for the Sanity Rally. You can see Alice and I in the background of this Getty image [link]. Arianna Huffington gave us pistachios and told us to try the free yogurts. I held a sign at the rally reminding people to vote.

* Oh -- Promotion stuff! This Friday, Nov 5th! Join me at a party at Atomic Bean Cafe from 7-9pm to celebrate Inbound 5's release, a comics anthology about food. I have a story about eating Durian when I was a freshman. (If you know what to look for in the background, you can tell the incident specifically took place in Warren Towers floor 5C at Boston University....)

Atomic Bean Cafe: 904 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge MA

Update: link to the book

* The leaves outside have suddenly changed color, and I think I saw ice on lakes and puddles.

Green Waves


Bit of sightseeing on the ocean.
(Part of the fieldwork for Harvard bee study, actually, which is wrapping up for this year.)
