Having finished with the [statement](/on_the_personal_statement/), and returning to the [Gibson](/on_rereading_gibson/) [article](/lost_in_space/), I’ve made the last-minute decision to accompany the Significant Other on his business trip to London. I’ll be blogging from there next week, while I reread [Pattern Recognition](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0399149864/plannedobsole-20), which combination seems wholly appropriate.

It makes me curious, though: I began this blog during a trip to [Hawaii](/hawaii_is_good/). [George](http://ghw.wordherders.net/ "g.h.williams") recently blogged his [trip to Georgia](http://ghw.wordherders.net/archives/000562.html), as well as his [experiences](http://ghw.wordherders.net/archives/000462.html) at the [SHARP](http://ghw.wordherders.net/archives/000474.html) [conference](http://ghw.wordherders.net/archives/000490.html) here in Claremont. And of course [Rory](http://www.speedysnail.com "speedysnail") has [blogged](http://www.speedysnail.com/mad7weeks/2000_05_14_archive.html) his [way](http://www.speedysnail.com/walkingwest/archives.html) around the [world](http://www.speedysnail.com/walkingwest/archives_ww2.html). So what is the relationship between the blog, the place it resides, and the space its author currently inhabits? How do we register or imagine or understand movement within the blogosphere (awful word), and movement of the blogosphere within lived space?
