This one is in the category of neat new toys. Last week I got my very own Gigapan robot, as part of its beta program. Being a beta version, I’m actually obligated to use it. So, in that spirit, here is the first picture I’ve taken with it:
function FlashProxy() {} […]

Sue and I took some of the assistant professors and their significant others out to dinner a few weeks ago. This is something we do every once in a while, just for fun. With good food and lots of wine, I usually learn some great things, because our faculty always seem to have an incredible […]

Right now I’m sitting in Palo Alto, in a meeting of the Computing Community Consortium Council. It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted an article on this blog, and so there is a lot to report on. But right now this meeting is taking too much concentration. So, for the time […]

I’m just finishing a visit to UCSD. Yesterday, I gave a distinguished lecture in their CS department entitled, Ten Years of Certified Code. In recent years, UCSD has been building up a very nice faculty in areas related to programming languages, program analysis, verification, and security (both systems security and language-based security). There was a […]

Well, my third article today. As you can see, I am just emerging from a fairly hectic week, typical of what happens after returning from a two-week trip.
Last week I described a little bit about my trip to Taiwan, as part of a research collaboration there. During that trip, I was asked to join […]

I’m writing today from Tokyo where I am spending a few days with my wife and son before going off by myself to a conference in Taipei. The flight over was mostly uneventful, except of course that we “missed” the passing of the New Year — we were flying away from midnight and then suddenly […]

Remember in the old days when people used to talk about the “paperless office”? Frank Pfenning, who runs our Ph.D. program, was just in my office extolling the time-saving virtues of our new on-line system for managing the “Black Friday” assessment of our graduate students. Still, in the end, a hardcopy letter gets printed and […]

I had a very nice surprise in my office this week. While I was out, someone snuck in and left behind a painting:
This photo, which I took with my iPhone (no flash), really doesn’t do justice to the painting. It has a beautiful iridescent, “vibrating” quality to it. What really tickles me, though, are the […]

Well, it’s been a learning experience. If you visit this blog (as opposed to reading the articles via a feedreader), you can see that there is a new look-and-feel. There is also a new name for the blog, CSDiary. There are a bunch of URLs that get to the blog, including csdiary.com, […]

No matter how jetlagged you might be, no matter what time zone your body thinks it should be in, getting up before dawn always is a struggle for me. So it was this morning, as we headed out for the DARPA Urban Challenge.
A lot of people from CMU are here. An incomplete list: […]
