Hey man! My name is Toli, and I'm the NYC intern for RSD! Jlaix told me about some cool socks and a cool blender...:)
I'm very inspired by your tour of glory for 2008! I want to do something similar, and possibly hit up Panama as well. Would love to meet up and chat up if you're still in the city. Let me know at my email address!
And props for this awesome blog and forum!
