The First Half Of 2015

A prolonged period of international travel, as a honeymoon + sabbatical. Highlights:

• Glad-handing at a leather-working convention in Milan.
• Fist-sized hunks of gorgonzola bought with pocket change in Scandicci.
• Bathing in Bartosz at LambdaCon in Bologna.
• Holing-up in a little mountain village in Andalusia, and getting lost for hours hiking across the mountains, and finally arriving at a cheese festival and drinking beer and eating cheese and feeling delighted to be alive.
• Reading every damn word in Bret Victor's codex.
• Trying VR with a fetishist ("No, the other kind of leather") in Tromsø.
• Sneaking into a military base in Bergen to watch Jaga Jazzist (we couldn't afford tickets).
• Catching a weird opera with pigs and schoolchildren in Frankfurt.
