In this issue: update on whereabouts
Web site recommendations: IT/politics/religion/art
Welcome back to E-LIST! Apologies for the long interruption. I have been transitioning from Princeton to Northwestern and Chicagoland. I’m very happy with both the job and the new location. Although it’s taking me a while to get settled in I’m really enjoying getting to know many interesting and nice people, and exploring the area.
I’m going to be on the road a bit in the next two months. I’ll be in Durham, North Carolina this coming weekend and will be in Princeton and New York next week. In December, I’ll be in Tel Aviv and Budapest. If our paths cross and you would like to meet up, please let me know.
Now that you know E-LIST is back up again, I hope you’ll continue to send me links to interesting material. Here is this issue’s batch:
