Thursday, to the whole department this time, which is great. seems
like the prof and lab are excited about what I'm doing. the lab is
really super.
We checked out Berkeley and the university, then visited the Google
campus, which was another world entirely. Wow! 4,000 of the world's
best computer gurus all in one place. There were high tech playgrounds
everywhere, s commercial spaceship, a life-size T-rex skeletal
display, completely free gourmet food, etc etc. It was like this
utopian geek cult. Now, we are in San Fransisco. I just lost ten bucks
to a chess hustler in the park. We played two games- a 5 minute and an
unlimited time game. But I was proud to get to the endgame at least.
haha. Anyways, he gave me an instructional DVD on chess openings. And
it was wicked fun to play someone that good.
I'm trying to type fast, cuz I have only 7 min left. What else? We are
leaving to visit Yosemite (with Dan who works at Google and his
girlfriend Tess) on Friday. then going down to San Diego to see Erik,
then starting the hike.
Weather is really great here. the plants are all different. more later....
