Guest blogging for Planetary Society

I spend the week of Oct 8-13 furiously typing away at the DPS meeting for the Planetary Society. Emily Lakdawalla, who run the planetary blog, has had a series of guest-bloggers filling in for her while she's out on maternity leave (congrats to Emily & Darius, btw!). It was both a challenge and a pleasure to cover the conference for her during her absence. Although bloggers get to write in an off-the-cuff style, it still takes considerable effort to polish one's internal monologue into a readible narrative. Of course, I can claim no such mastery of this task, but I am all the more appreciate of the tremdous effort that Emily consistently churns out in her commentary on various planetary-related events and happenings.
