here and there

I finally posted pictures of the Berkeley kite festival and Habanero burgers.

News of the RFID passports make me nervous. It’s yet another example of why security research is so crucial. If only academia would mesh more with the real world!

Flaming Dell laptops at conferences… Always tragic when a computer dies, yes, but I’m sure everyone in that session was wide awake.

Mice neurons and the universe… Douglas Adams was onto something there, eh? Speaking of Douglas Adams, my Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (of five) arrived, as did my Nintendo ds lite. Needless to say, I no longer lack for entertainment. However, on the social side, I’ve finally met nVidia people and went to Great America for the first time.

For you, Amy.
