Yes, we’re back! After a month of floating down off the blogosphere to take a much-needed vacation, Fun with Liquid Nitrogen has returned.

And with a 90s pop culture reference. Surprise to no one.
So why were we gone for so long? Well, for the first week I had to scramble like mad to prepare for our journey both at home and by battening down the metaphorical hatches at work. After that I was in Washington DC for ASGCT 2010 for a week and then we spent another week down South on vacation. The past two weeks have been tricky as I’ve been trying to get my bearings and write about our trip for posterity without the aid of my laptop, which appears to have been broken by Alabama. I’m not sure how, but it worked just fine in Florida and, next day, didn’t work in Alabama. So there you go.
It’s fixed now, though! And so I plan on cranking this back up again and commencing with the daily posts right away. Tomorrow I’ll post an “unrelated content” entry and I might even make a bonus one on Sunday if you’re really lucky, since I’ve got an immense backlog of links and neat things to share to sort through. The same is true of blogging topics since our time away was not without some relatively big news in the world of Science, namely, it seems like Craig Venter has been up to some things. Perhaps you heard about it already. I look forward to writing about that.
At any rate, I hope you will continue reading after our bit of time off. I may tinker with the site design some over the coming weeks, as well, so please let me know what, if anything you like that I’ve done and what you hate or, more importantly, doesn’t work on your computer. A web designer I am not but since not being a writer by trade didn’t stop me from doing this I figured it’s worth a shot, too.
Thanks for your patience, folks.
