New Site
Please visit Wandering Geologist at Blogspot, my new home. This Livejournal will continue to be updated as well, but I recommend the Blogspot site for non-Livejournal users.

I've moved to Blogspot, at Wandering Geologist because that's an easier site to share with non-livejournal family and friends. I'll still crosspost to here, though, for my LJ friends.
