- At the Black Dog, tonight, we ran into a fellow, waiting in line to get coffee, who revealed himself to be a CS postdoc, working on bioinformatics. He was from the Netherlands, and together (gently probing at each other's hackerness), we figured out that with a given scrabble hand, you're never going to have to check more than O(2^7 * 7!) sequences of letters to see which ones are words (it's like less than a few thousand and less than that because it's not really 7!) -- if you were writing the AI player for a computerized version of scrabble. This fellow gets many cool points; he softly explained what he was working on, and he had a cool accent...

lomonthang is totally reading Jung and thinking all sorts of lofty thoughts, and maybe he's going to do sculpture-like things at FSU. And we saw Brett, who was playing funky beatZ up in the place at WVFS.
- After we visited Brett, we had tasty pitas and watched the partygoers crowd the streets and the bars. It was surreal.
- What do real people think about? What's a typical conversation sound like at the bars on Tennessee Street sound like? What does anybody discuss in this life? What is average -- and do the people we saw tonight count as average?
