• 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! I was somewhat apprehensive that it'd be only uber-geeks, but there were plenty of higher-functioning geeks too
• Read some more Russion SciFi by Lem, Tales of Prix the Pilot. Thought the ending stories lacked focus? This was brought on by the recent news that Solaris had been re-translated directly from Polish, but only in audio form #yes #Yes #YES
• Hung out at Noisebridge, becoming dehydrated and anti-social enough that I'll have to hit it up again to get a fuller experience. However, did get good work done

And that’s a wrap! I promise (semi-sincerely) that I’ll have something document-able by next update, instead of using all my free time socializing and goofing off. Geez, if I keep up the no-project output, readers might even get the impression that I’m a normal blogger and will soon start posting cat pictures.

Not that there’s anything wrong with posting cat pictures.

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. That’s just plain silly.

And I was wrong about the projects thing: now that I’m not spending every single night going out and trying to find a room to live in, now I might be able to finish something. Probably hardware-related, because my motivation to write code has dropped due to work.

The “head cut off” reference is because I walked all over San Francisco, because there was a street game of epic proportions. Now excuse me while I nurse my poor legs.
