Chernobyl Flickr set online!
My Chernobyl trip flickr set is fully online, commented, and annotated! You can visit it here.

I won’t be able to blog from Chernobyl, but I’ll be twittering if I have cellphone coverage. You can follow my updates at my twitter page!
Interim
I haven’t been writing lately because I’ve been in the wrong state of mind to do so. I’ve been “micro” blogging on my twitter account. I’ve managed to read quite a bit in the past month (as compared to 2007), and I’ll write reviews on that later.
The biggest news now is that I’m going with my friend João Rechena to Ukraine this next weekend, with the purpose of visiting and photographing Chernobyl (see tourchernobyl.com for details). I hope the geiger counter I ordered arrives in time for the trip!
