13:23 - I'm a geek

So here's what I'm going to do.
Throughout the coming 20-ish days of Alaska vacation, I have an automated script that will post each day's agenda from my itinerary in the morning. That way, the blog will always indicate where I'm supposed to be on any given day. Then, on those days when I have Internet access (perhaps in Whitehorse, certainly in Fairbanks and Anchorage), I'll be able to post additional entries, including photos and such, describing where I really am. With any luck whatsoever, they might even match up.
(Luck so far has not been in great abundance today, incidentally. Today, my traveling companion is flying in, and I'd been hoping to start off the trip with an evening bird's-eye tour of Silicon Valley from the peak of Bald Mountain south of my house... but as lack of luck would have it, today is the smoggiest day I can remember in San Jose in years. Perhaps ever. It's absolutely insane: I can barely see the mountains two miles away in Cupertino, let alone the ones twenty miles away behind Milpitas. And all this month it's been admirably clear, too. But today? The one day I need it to be clear? Nooooo...)
Anyway, I will also most likely temporarily change the blog to show all the entries from the past three weeks at once, rather than just the past week. That'll ensure that the entirety of the trip will always be visible on a single page.
Northward ho!
