off the hook

so i've been away from the blog lately because i've been busy ordering my messy life. i went back to socal at the end of july to go apartment hunting with sled for a place in long beach. after a stressful week, he, meta, and i finally have a place to live in belmont shore. it's a cute little house two blocks to the beach and one block to 2nd street which is more urban than orange county could ever dream of. rock.

after that, i went up to siggraph in la to help my friends from the future applications lab run their ubiquitous graphics demo. but contrary to a certain advisor's beliefs, i am more than just a booth bunny, damnit! i can make coffee too! [man, i'm awful...]

now i am back in boston trying to finish up nimio for it's ecscw 2005 demo. i'm not nervous at all. i swear. we have like, DAYS left...

in fact i'll be travelling quite a bit in september:
sept 1 - 7: off to the high high highlands of scotland to visit the sheeps.
sept 8 - 15: tokyo for the metapolis and urban life workshop at ubicomp.
sept 17 - 22: paris to demo nimio at ecscw.
sept 23 - 24: amsterdam for urban screens.

phew.
