Climate Change Conference

. . . this week one of the things I've been excited about checking out has been a great conference happening over at the Embarcadero Hyatt. You can find out more and check out some of the presentation materials for yourself on their website (click the box) and even see some of the sessions here. The ones that I've seen have been some pretty top notch work by folks mostly at the Fish & Wildlife Service, and the US Geological Survey, which stands to reason as they're the hosts of the event. And what gracious hosts they are, the conference is free so I'll not complain about the lack of coffee . . . I'll try and update a bit more as the day two progresses.

Well thank goodness for that . . .

The New Year is upon us and with it many changes, new challenges, opportunities and possibilities. While I'm really hoping to increase my efforts on Coastopolis during this year, indeed, while I'm really hoping to finally, actually, truly launch Coastopolis before May, things have been extremely busy and exciting. We now have a new President, and I think the image for me, that sums up the feeling of ebullience washing over the nation is this one . . .



. . . while I know one thrown shaka does not a great President make, it's still a nice image to kick off the new era with. More from Coastopolis soon!
