I really liked the paper, and I plan to go through the it and read all the citations. A trip down memory lane. One thing I liked about this treatment is that it is dispassionate. He doesn't take...

Yesterday while my poor addled brain struggled to cope with jetlag, Twitter was released a small feature with potentially wide implication, and FriendFeed released something new related to search that I thought they had already released.

I've started to write blog posts three times today and gave up each of the three times because... It's impossible to write coherently when your mind is scrambled by jetlag! It's hard for me to finish a sentence coherently or even remember if I've used the word coherenent, or even spell it right, or finish the sentence without getting hung up if coherent is actually the right word

I slept 9 hours last night, 10 hours the night before, At home, I sleep 6, maybe 7. It's been raining here for 3-4 days, so we run out and do a walk or a hike in between downpours, sit on the porch and read books. I have been writing the product specs for oakland local and for some maps we want to build. Being in a new place ans have more unscheduled time feels like a gift....
