The Future

I'm only taking one class this fall and doing research, so things won't be as painful as last fall. Going to be visiting Los Angeles next month and then San Francisco in December, but both occasions are for attending conferences and there's no chance that I'll get much time to explore. Life is research and coding.

Love Life

The love of my life is not feeling well today :(.

Last night, we made dinner (ok, mostly she made dinner) and then ate every bite of it while watching thirty solid minutes of corporate-Olympic-hype-fest-but-actually-bankrupt-of-content television programming, interspersed with about 45% commercial time. If you can stomach it, try to catch the tail end of your local news, thirty minutes before NBC's ordained "Prime Time", from 18:30-19:00 local time. My girlfriend commented that it felt really dystopian, and I have to agree; once every two years, for about ten days, we watch broadcast television a couple of hours a day, and it's like culture shock. I know it's meme af to bash on NBC's Olympics coverage, so, sorry Hubski. And I know you can use a simple VPN service to watch BBC or CBC coverage of the Olympics, but I have a morbid fascination how NBC handles their national monopoly.

Summer Feelings

Is it over yet? The heat here is absurd. Commuting on foot to the campus rec is pointless, as you will need to shower upon arrival.

MISC

I'm lurkin' around here all the time, but I don't post much. Just super busy. Glad to hear everyone's still alive and kicking stronger than ever.
