A good pregame for the week
After a hazy early AM of working on my RTI paper interspersed with short naps, I got down to the farmer’s market; it’d been way too long. I was placing my order of a verde tamale and memelas at the authentic Mexican kitchen when I hear a voice “you don’t want it spicy.” It was Matt! And he and Mary were standing right next to me in the crepes line. Hehe, we had a good lunch with them — Matt is heading over to Taiwan for the first time on Friday! Mary is still on a weary schedule of 6am starts because she’s just too nice to reserve the lab’s equipment during more normal hours. What a champ.
Had some coffee while reading the Innovator’s Dilemma (picked it up at a free book cart while showing Greg and Kelly the Stanford Law School library) then headed back to the apartment. Michael & Co brought in my pots and plates from last night’s BBQ so I went over to pick them up and we ended up having a nice chat about healthcare reform for an hour before I headed off to check out Troy’s house. Troy was a fellow CS classmate of Michael’s and is currently quite active in iPhone development. Michael and I are looking at staying at Troy’s house for 3 months to buy more time to find a decent place in the City. Ended up staying there for an hour — Troy and his friend Steve are working on a monster of an iPhone app. For all you running fans there, stay tuned.
Next week’s schedule is filling up nicely, and hopefully I can get back to some normalcy with the routine to make the most of it.
The song with the highest playcount over the past few days is M83′s We Own the Sky. I seem to be a year late to most music, oh well. M83 had a video contest and the one below was chosen to be the official music video for the song. Made by some young filmmakers out of LA.
Make sure HD is on. Wow. With talent available like this, why would a band these days spend a lot of money on their own video? Just wow.
