Monday, 29 April. 4 am.
I just finished a paper for my strategic intelligence class. It’s not what I’d like it to be by a long shot, but it’s better than I thought it would be. “Strategic Surprise in Conventional and Asymmetric Warfare” is its handle. Yep.
I just e-mailed my Python final to my instructor. I […]
The insanely talented Andi Watson has a new online comic available, thanks to our friends at Artbomb.net. It’s beautiful, funny, and charming, just like all Watson’s work. Go see it, even if you’re not a comics fan. You’ll like it; trust me.
I am back in Bloomington, exhausted, happy, missing San Francisco already, and digging in for a long week of final projects and other work. It might take a while to get pictures online, because I’ll be so very busy for the next eight or nine days. Look for them the first week of May. Maybe.
With a funny and insightful speech from writer Bruce Sterling, CFP2002 drew to a close this afternoon. I know I’ve had little to say thus far about the conference, but I greatly enjoyed it, I learned a lot, and I have much to think about–many things that I never really considered before. I’ll give a […]
My conference started yesterday and I suspect it’ll keep me pretty busy the rest of the week, so expect less frequent updates. And, really, expect less interesting updates, assuming the updates have been interesting at all to this point. The conference has been fascinating, learning about Constitutional law, the PATRIOT act, and biometric identification techniques–so […]
Couple days since an update, but that’s okay. I think only two people are out there anyway. Courtney, Anne: hidey-ho! (Not THAT kind of ho.)
I got up to Alcatraz yesterday. I was actually rather surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The prison itself was interesting, but I really loved two things about the experience: […]
Another full day, but a little quieter, which is nice. Colder, too, which is not so nice. Up to now, the weather here’s been in the lower 70s, which I hear is balmy for SF at this time of year. Today, however, it was a good 10 - 15 degrees cooler and VERY windy. Still, […]
Wow. I am an idiot. I thought my conference began Monday with tutorials and Tuesday with the formal conference proceedings. I was wrong. Well, it gives me an extra day to play, I suppose.
I awoke early again today. Being exhausted by 8:30 usually means calling it a day, heading back to the hostel, doing email […]
Thanks to how fully exhausted I was yesterday, I slept beautifully last night. I turned in about 10:30 and dropped immediately into a deep sleep, broken an hour later when my two roommates came in and flipped on a light. I must have said something in my disequilibrium, because they both chuckled. But they laughed […]
Busy day. Wasn’t sure it would be, given how little sleep I got last night (four hours), but I did a lot today.
I started with a big, early dinner in a lovely Thai restaurant near my hostel. Yummy. After acquainting myself with the cable cars, I walked The Embarcadero from the downtown area up to […]
