Great that you're posting pictures to the blog. This is huge! I would have liked to hear more of an opinionated (dare I say, somewhat snarky) take on Dan's visit... maybe pull one or two eye-opening highlights (did he say anything controversial? newsworthy? -- lede with that). Counting your slideshow too you get 9 out of 10 points.
