Back from Hawaii

Sorry for the lack of posts but we just got back from a trip to Hawaii! I presented a paper at the AAMAS 2007 Agents conference. We had fun in Hawaii, especially Eris. Check out the latest pics on my flickr photostream.

Do you see what I feed...

I just found something interesting in my preferred feed reader, Google Reader's, interface. It has a "shared items" thingiee where I can mark any post in any of my subscriptions as "shared". These shared items are then re-feeded to a custom feed that anyone can subscribe to (for me, this feed is here). So subscribe to this feed, and I will mark any really interesting stuff as shared. Who knows, maybe you will find a cool new feed to read.

Jet Set Part 1

I just got back from bidnezz in Monterey, CA. It's a pretty nice city with a couple neat things to do...I went to the aquarium and 17-mile drive. Both are entertaining (if expensive).

On the 17-mile drive sits the Lone Cypress, "one of California's most enduring landmarks". It's a pretty cool 300 year old tree that sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Pacific. When I got there, I saw this sign:



Jeez, a trademarked tree?! Well how do you like these apples:



:P~ on you Pebble Beach Co. And your drive wasn't worth the $9 I paid either. For the same price I can get into Shenandoah and go on a 105 Mile Drive!!
