Life & Updates

Off to Seattle….. again

Quick update: Going back to Seattle but this time I’m flying and the University of Washington is paying for my plane ticket. w00t. Going to spend time talking to professors about their research and hopefully land an assistantship in the process. I’ll be gone for a week and I’m not taking my camera /cry. WoW client patch 1.10 came out today too and I’m leaving tomorrow. Damn.

So I heard back from Penn State and got accepted there too. That brings my acceptances to 4 (University at Buffalo: CSE & EE, University of Washington, Penn State), rejections to 1 (Oregon State) and still waiting to hear back from Michigan State and Northwestern. Still laughing about being rejected by OSU – seriously… that is funny.

See you all when I get back :) Take care.

Crazy Weather

Not much time for an update since I’m going up to Seattle in a few days but I wanted to post some pictures of the crazy weather we’ve been having in Petaluma.

It snowed! Went up on the roof and took a few shots. Apparently there was 4 inches of snow in some places – enough for a snowboarder to give it a try and get an article written about his experiment in the local paper.

I didn’t get any shots of the hail storm we just had though. Now I’m wondering what I’ll miss when I’m gone for a week!

Silicon Valley From 20,000 Feet

So I’m in Arizona right now but earlier today I boarded my 9th flight in the last 3 months. I flew out of Oakland airport which is much smaller and nicer then SFO. While we were gaining altitude we passed right over silicon valley so I took a few snapshots of the massive urban sprawl below me and now you get to see it too.

View of Silicon Valley from an airplane.

Bye Bye Californicate!

Yes, Arizona is even hot in the winter

Why I Love Europe

Do I need to provide any more explanation than this?

Photos From Europe

Just a sample of the 2000+ photos I’ve taken so far. The rest need image processing in Photoshop and that takes more time then I have right now (or ever).
