Great presentation of a research project
That’s what research is all about… having fun and being innovative 🙂 I love the way the “MySong” work is presented through this blog entry… examples, people having fun on camera, the paper, the science behind the project. Great stuff.

Supercomputer Center
I am in San Diego with Lee Dirks. I’ve had very interesting meeting with Lynn Fink and co, Mark Ellisman and team, and Fran Berman and the technical/scientific leadership of the San Diego Supercomputer Center.

HTC Touch Cruise
Back in June 2007 I switched from T-Mobile to ATT in order to get the Blackjack I because the salesman told me that WM6 was “just a couple of weeks away”. Early December I went to complain because the update was still not available. Unfortunately, they promised to get back to me but nothing happened.…
