Australia Wrap-Up

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Overall the IEEE ISTAS 2010 was a great experience, but not without its challenges… more on that in a later post. For now, I just want to say my talk went off without a hitch. I had 45 minutes but I think I went through it in something like 20, which was good because stretching [...]

Me with some smart dudes!

Day 1 of the ISTAS Symposium

Monday, June 7th, 2010

I’m up early today ripping apart my lame powerpoint presentation and trying to put it back together so it seems more, well, intelligent. Yesterday was filled with really great presentations. I wasn’t sure what the crowd would be like here but I should have known it would be a small number of people with a [...]

Touchdown Sydney, Day 1

Touchdown Sydney, Day 1

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Flying from Seattle to LAX was fine, but the layover was horrible. Some airports are designed with layovers in mind, but not LAX. The place is so barren, and there are hardly any shops you can actually sit down in. I had an 8 hour layover at LAX before flying to Sydney (a 15 hour [...]

Why is Ted Mosby kicking butt in District 13?

Why is Ted Mosby kicking butt in District 13?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

One of my current vices is watching a show called How I Met Your Mother. Aside from Neil Patrick Harris (oh yes, NPH would do that), the show also stars Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan, and Josh Radnor. The story centers around Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) as he tells his kids the story how [...]

Speaking at the 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society

Several months ago I was asked to be a keynote speaker at the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society being held at University of Wollongong in Australia. The symposium is part of IEEE’s Society on Social Implications of Technology, and since being asked I have been working on a paper to be reviewed and [...]

Photo of the Seattle Space Needle being constructed on a dusty lot

Friday, May 14th, 2010

This Polaroid was kicking around in a box of photos at my ex-mother-in-law’s house (that’s a lot of dashes!). It shows the Space Needle in the middle of being erected for the 1962 World’s Fair. When I first saw it several years ago, I remember looking at it for a good 15 minutes straight. It’s [...]

Chase banner saying "regulations are giving me a choice"

This is why regulation of banks is good

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Ok, so my last post was apparently very timely. In it, I was bitching about how banks know for a fact that you don’t have enough funds in your account before authorizing a debit card transaction, and they could decline the whole transaction, but they authorize it anyway just so they can charge you an [...]

Fraud is expected and accepted

I wish there was a way to rob banks, but there isn’t

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Almost everyone knows the house always wins in Vegas, but there are a few cases where the house doesn’t win. In some cases, professional gamblers are able to make a very good living by taking the house to the cleaners month after month. I wish there was a way to win with banks, but there [...]
