So another weekend update... I moved into a new place. No more couch-bed for me! Learned how it really feels to whittle down to an MVP, and try to keep it an MVP Attended the Anybots open house. The tech wasn't terribly exciting (and this Anybot shoots flames from its head!) but talking semi-shop with the employees was fun. Hit up another Less Wrong Meetup, and had a good enough time to miss my train (I'm really sorry guys) Hacker Dojo Happy Hour!

Okay, so I’ve been settling in for the last week, and a brief recap:
Started work: somehow ended up doing computer vision, which I probably won't touch after next week Found a place to live that is not a couch Tried Xmonad, the amazing tiling window manager Failed to hit up Noisebridge, or the San Francisco Symphony Did run around San Francisco like a chicken with it's head cut off Note: I really hate looking for housing, but not so much I’m willing to spend twice as much to just rent a hotel room.

Butterflies.
A familiar flutter, deeply set, matching the flutter of probability. I know the numbers, but I can’t quite put my irrationality aside and face up the facts as I fumble for my boarding pass.
So many people have died. Too many to ignore.
Shuffling forward, shoeless, I contemplate. The TSA agents let these people pass, but they will die, like the billions before them. Security? Only for a few hours, and marginal at that.

Attended some graduations Tweaked the Arimaa Icon set up to version 3 4 4.1 Attended a Classical Revolution session in Seattle Re-read Neuromancer Made progress on finding housing. I detest looking for housing. In fact, I detest looking for most anything. Failed to finish Halo: Reach Got to the Silicon Valley without dying Start work next week! I should be able to actually start finishing projects again, so heads up for that.

I have rectified what I have previously noted as something negative. With less than a week of practice under my belt, I managed to not suck that much at a Classical Revolution session.
I’m coming for you, anti-generality. And lemme tell you, it’s going to be a wicked battle. Count on it.

Tweaked/updated my Arimaa Icon set Got a job! Internship! Whatever you want to call it! Now I don't have to rely on intrinsic motivators to get things done! Checked out Jigsaw Renaissance and Dorkbot-Seattle at the same time by failing to get to the Dorkbot meeting in time to see most of the presentations Attended a meeting of the Seattle BUG (Blender User Group) (instead of attending the Random Hacks of Kindness hackathon) Got matched up through HackMatch right after getting accepted to aforementioned job, which got a bunch of people pinging me about summer jobs, right when I didn't need it anymore.
