This is an old classmate of mine. His name is Vinay, and he is apparently training to join the U.S. Foreign Service. Good luck, Vinay!
This news, while inconsequential to most, will make the day of at least one other person I know.
Meanwhile, yes, I haven't updated lately. I had some troubles transferring my site to my new host (had to reinstall Movable Type, which was somewhat daunting), and I've been busy learning to dismantle iBooks and seeing The Matrix Reloaded. I'll have more on the latter here, once I get my head around it...
