The summer is quickly winding down: however, I have a ton of things to do, so it’s time to quickly wind up and start getting things done. But before I try going insane, I hit up Music@Menlo and their chamber music concert, catching their last concert. Really, it’s a shame I didn’t catch more of […]
Worked at home for the first time: needed to make a good impression with this whole demo thing Had a bacon cheeseburger pizza. It was deliciously decadent as it sounds It doesn’t look like I did much this week, but I have made progress on the reprap. Yeah, really, that’s pretty much the extent of […]
Oh my only a month left. Techshop laser class: I know, I already did a laser cutter class but Techshop is much more concerned with how their equipment is used than your usual hackerspace, and hence whatever previous experience I have is null and void. Which is a good thing, because my previous experience pretty […]
Hit the teens! Almost only a month left, gotta go faster go faster go faster. At the SVI hackathon, I ran a web server from my phone. Since this is obviously the pinnacle of my life, I can die happy Went to a SF Symphony Concert. Solo cellist was less than spectacular despite his credentials, […]
Ho boy More Rigging! I swear, I’ll start animating in earnest… now Less wrong and Happy hour! Really, these are becoming regular events I saw 2 folding bikes! Exciting, although they were better brands than mine (Dahon). I also swear that I’ll be putting out that bike review soon… Yeah, not much noteworthy happened this […]
Happy halfway point! Rigging! (forever and ever) posted some silly videos to my youtube account Biked around Google’s main campus, was terrible at DDR, and drank fancy grape soda. Oh, and discovered that Chromebooks are nicely built, like a really nice netbook. I mean, matte screen? MIND BLOWN Less Wrong Meetup! Missed the butter eating […]
Another week, another update. Mistake! There will actually be 16 of these, since I’m a dumb and didn’t actually count out the weeks, despite any piece of calendering software making this trivial. Hackathon! That was in a kind of weird format! (really, what hackathon goes for barely 8 hours?) No corporate endorsements! No draws! But […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
