San Francisco

Sunday January 27th, early in the afternoon

I finally got around to 'selecting' and formatting my remaining pictures from the California Trip. The trip was split up roughly as follows:

  • Thursday—Drove from Charlottesville to Richmond in the Virginia-equivalent of a blizzard; flew from Richmond to Philadelphia; ate hotdog in 30 seconds while running to the gate post-final-boarding-call; drove from San Francisco to Davis in The Gigantor (rental car) during rush hour.
  • Friday—MURI meeting; presented my work on SQL injection vulnerabilities. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the Helix research group (quite literally).
  • Saturday—Checked out of Davis. Breakfast with Jim Apple. Drove to Berkeley to see the campus; drove to SFO to return the car; BART train to San Francisco proper. Opening events for SODA 2008
  • Sunday—Work-at-hotel day. Birthday-related dinner with Isabelle.
  • Monday—Visited the Golden Gate Park; lunch with Nina (Isabelle's adviser); more work.
  • Tuesday—Dropped off Isabelle at SODA, then took a walk from North Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge (about 5 miles / 8 km). Decided to take the tiny pedestrian path next to the highway rather than following the coast line, which was *scary.* Got very cold on bridge; took a bus back to SODA.

So there. Almost a week's worth of data in six easy-to-digest bullet points. The grant meeting in Davis was somewhat intense (and long), but useful nonetheless. I liked San Francisco a lot – it was very easy to get around by train, bus, and on foot. I also got a lot of work done in the hotel for no apparent reason.

    Heh I'll fix the quotes sometime next week. I can even retroactively fix everyone's comments. *yay*

    Nathan's first words were supposed to be *MOJOOOOOW BABY.* Can we work on that next?
