Pure Awesomicity

Although I have way too many things due tomorrow morning and will not sleep until 9:15am, I am ridiculously happy. Things are going really well. I have a loving girlfriend, awesome friends, hilarious professors, and fascinating classes. This is a moment of Zen....

I am making kernel coding progress, and classes are going OK. It's a lot of stuff to handle, but Naranja is amazing, and hanging out with Tristan and friends is fun. I also went to The Bridge School Benefit Concert today, at which the Red Hot Chili Peppers were awesome. So many things are going...

In the course of today I have reformatted my laptop's (not my Mac) three times, and had 3 different Distributions running (FC 2, Knoppix, Ubuntu). Ubuntu is great and nice to use, though updating everything using apt-get somehow ruined my wireless card driver. Well, it stopped my working, and...

Stanford Predicts

I am proud to introduce Stanford Predicts: The 2004 Presidential Election, a project led by MS&E Professor Sam Chiu to track and predict the results of the 2004 Presidential Election. I am responsible for Communication Technologies and Web Development, and spent most of today working on this. Our project website has been online since today, and you can expect the first results some time towards the end of this week. The project is a group effort of around 15 students,...
