After a long week of visits at Cornell, MIT, and Harvard, I had few days of holidays in New York (I love this city). As always when I am visiting a city (this was my second time in NY), I did lots of exploring and relaxing (no work! :-). It's been fantastic.

Today is the first day of the OAI-ORE meeting at Google's offices in New York. It's really cool here. The building's security person (not a Google employee) sent us to the wrong floor in the morning, thinking that we were all here for the recruitment event :-)

Lots of young people, very very good food (and free), and a great vibe.
