- I'm graduating... the transition is going to be interesting this time. I haven't made formal plans to end any of my projects, which is a little disconcerting. I'ma have to hand things off to people, except probably the MS project, which we'll likely be working on for a few months. And I suppose I'm ambiently doing stuff for Mark "Tha Flava In Ya Earhole" Guzdial over the summer -- I'll be teaching at his camp again, at the very least.

- Conference papers from my project: shortpaper for Mobile HCI, fullpaper for ISWC.

Assuming they both get accepted, I now have: pubslist (length 2), a citation, and an Erdös number, at highest 6. I suspect it's lower than that.

- Jeebus, they're going to kill off my accounts. My keycards are going to stop working; I need to turn in my physical keys to things. I'm going to move all my stuff out from the lab... ... that's a weird feeling.

- And I got a drumset! It's electronic and MIDI! If you want to rock out, let's rock out! I'm not very good yet, but learning, and I made sure to get a double-bass pedal because I really wanted one. The thing I didn't account for is that the pedals slip across my hardwood floor... Miriam in her deep wisdom suggested putting a bathmat underneath.

It felt a little weird going in and buying the thing, in light of how I don't particularly know how to play drums yet, but -- it's something I always wanted to learn. So I'll learn. And I guess it wasn't that hard to justify. I'd been watching Metalocalypse! \m/

Everybody! Robots Now guys! Christin-with-a-bass! Everybody else! Let's rock out together!

Aw, thanks! I'm pretty happy about the situation :)

Sometime I'll have to sit down with you and have you explain what you're working on... whatcha gonna do with all that math? All that math up in your head?

(your response: "I'm gonna make make make... some representations of complicated shapes in 3-space?" ... or am I not understanding this correctly?)
