I'm officially back in NYC after about eight weeks of living out of a suitcase. I did a lot of things while I was gone, but apparently updating my blog wasn't one of them. Over the past nine weeks I,

• Lost my father.
• Got married.
• Skipped watching the 4th of July fireworks for the first time in recent memory.
• Got ticketed for jaywalking.
• Signed a bunch of bands I love to RCRD LBL (technically Elliot and Josh did this).
• Helped cover E3 for Engadget and Joystiq.
• Celebrated my 5th anniversary as a gadget blogger by liveblogging a Steve Jobs keynote.
• Spent way too much time driving back and forth across the state of California and flying back and forth across the country.
• Got mentioned in Rolling Stone.
• Picked up and moved 15 times in 8 weeks.
• Went to FOO Camp for the first time.
• Had dinner with both Dave Winer and Jason Calacanis. But not at the same time.
• Finally learned how to play Guitar Hero.
• Broke my favorite pair of sunglasses.
• Broke down and got on Facebook.
• Failed to start using Twitter.
• Came perilously close to replacing my beloved Dell X1 with a MacBook.
• Finally realized that I'm closer to the end of my time in New York than the beginning.
