Very cool.  BTW -- at this point I'm planning to attend the World
Bank protests in Barcelona this June, assuming my travel partner is
willing, so if you're looking for a local member to provide on-hand
coverage I may be able to help with that.

I'll be in Urbana-Champaign this coming Sunday-Tuesday (Apr 29+)
apartment hunting; hopefully I'll be able to stop by the office when
someone's around.
