I feel the need, the need to blog. It's been itching at my soul for the last few days now...so here goes.
If you have called, emailed, or otherwise tried to contact me, I'm sorry for being out of contact. Over the next few days I'll do my part to catch up. For now, hopefully this note will tide you over.
Birthday was fun and stressful. We had a poster presentation for the Student Design Competition. 25 teams entered the competition, 11 were invited to the conference, and 4 moved on to the next round. Unfortunately, my team did not make it to the final round. It's all good though, because that allowed me and the others who did not move on to have some fun! Team mPath from IU did move on, and I'd like to wish them the best of luck in their final presentation, which is to take place in less than an hour.
Last night we went to the convention's reception party, which started with a procession through the streets of Portland. Picture loud drums and a couple hundred Human-Computer Interactionists dancing behind them. That was us. Crazy. Weird. Good times. :-) The party was also fun, and I saw some people from my old days at UCSD. Danced on a bouncing dance floor, which was relatively scary. The wood was old and thin, so it bounced as people danced. Basically just had to bob my head, because the floor took care of the rest ;-)
Tonight we're gonna hit up the Google, Microsoft, and perhaps SAP party.
Ok, that's the short update. Thanks for the birthday wishes. You'll hear from me again soon.
