Just a picture I took while on the way to work this morning. I stopped at College Landing Park because there was some amazing mist rising over the water. Those pictures didn’t come out quite as well as I would have liked, I’ll have to try again some other morning as I think I was a little late for it.
There are a few more posted over at flickr. Enjoy!
Oh, and happy new year!
Hello everyone. I know I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been very busy around here. Between work, school finishing up, and social things, I haven’t had a lot of time to post. But here is a quick one.
My mom’s birthday is in December, and this year, being a momentous and serious event, she wanted to go in to New York. She got tickets to see Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center and was kind enough to invite Rachel and I to come too. So up we went and wow was it amazing.
We stayed in the Library Hotel, which is a small boutique hotel right in midtown (41st and Madison). The hotel as its name implies, is library themed. Each floor represents a subset of the dewey decimal system and each room is assigned a subsection. We stayed in 500.002, which is Geology. Every room has in it books appropriate for its section. The whole library is only 12 floors of rooms with only 4 rooms per floor, so it is quite cosy. There is a big lounge area that has many more books and they serve breakfast every morning.
Aside from Jazz, we visited the Museum of Modern Art in their new location. Lots of very cool art and lots of very very odd art. Ask me about the piece entitled “The Lights Going on and Off,” it was classic.
Enough talk, look at the pictures.
Good morning everyone! Oftentimes when I drive to work in the morning, I marvel at the sunrise. This morning was the clouds created an amazing display of colors that I could not resist capturing. I took a short detour off my normal commute and went down the Colonial Parkway for a few miles to Jamestown Beach. Enjoy the photos!
Hello everyone! I’m back in town. I had a great trip up to Madison; it had been far far too long since the last time I visited. Thanksgiving with Bill, Janet, and family was amazing (even given the overfullness).
I took lots of pictures (452, I think). I have posted some of the better ones on my Flikr page (link below). Most of the pictures come from the hike I took on Friday in White Oak Canyon (PDF Map) which is part of the Shenandoah National Park.
I made it up to the Lower Falls. I’m guessing it was maybe 4 miles and it was absolutely amazing; the pictures can in no way convey the beautity of that area. I was playing with taking long exposure shots of the river, so you may see several shots of the same location with varying degrees of “softness” in the water. Let me know what you think. Other pictures are from my drive around the county and from Bill and Janet’s house. Now I’m back; what’s next?
Hello everyone. Just wanted to drop a quick link that made me smile and laugh. Its been a good week. (And no, I’m not explaining, it has just been very good.)
Yeh, I’m a bit of a dork, but at least I’m a dork who votes.
Hey everyone, Jeremy here. Who’s that? Oh right, this is my blog. Haven’t felt much like writing lately. Sorry. Work stuff is boring to write about even if it is busy. Personal stuff, is, well, personal, and unlike some bloggers, I don’t feel like airing everything that happens in my life to the internet at large. Still finding my feet on the personal side of life; I am feeling a certain kinship with a toddler learning to walk. I think I’m learning, but certainly will end up with a few good bruises to show for it. So, life has certainly not been boring lately, just not post-worthy.
Went to the GSA/Law School Halloween party last week. That was quite a lot of fun and I got meet a bunch of new people from different grad programs. I found it interesting and oddly comforting that the DJ played a huge selection of music that was new and popular when I was going to high school dances. And to the suprise of many people, I actually danced to it this time around. If I knew I would get as many shocked reactions as I have over the last week, I would have done it sooner, it has been funny.
So that is it at the moment. I’m still here. Feel free to ping me and say hi.
I’m walking along a warm comforting street with a charming, intelligent, beautiful woman on my arm. We are laughing, talking, and enjoying each others company as we pitter away a lovely autumn afternoon…
::CHIRP::
The world seems to be fading away?! Where did she go?
::CHIRP::
Crap. I’m in bed and it is dark. But at least it is nice and warm and cozy under the down comforter. mmm. Comfy….
::CHIRP::
It isn’t going to stop, is it? Damn. Now which damn smoke detector is it? Let’s stand here right between the up and down stairs and wait for the next beep. ::brr:: It is cold out here. I think it is waiting extra long now because I am up.
::CHIRP::
Alright, upstairs. Do I have a new battery? Yes, good. There. Now shut up!
Back in bed. It has gotten cold. What time is it? 5:02 am. Crap. So much for getting back to sleep.
Maybe I will see her again tomorrow. ::sigh::
The trouble with making a commitment to yourself to write more in your blog is that sometimes you are forced to write an entry when you can’t think of much to say. It is an interesting quandary at a certain level. I could relate the events of my weekend, but although I had a great time, I don’t think they translate well into engaging reading material. (Short summary: Busch Gardens: fun. Ultimate: awesome game. Dinner with old friend: needs to happen more often. Monty Python with friends: what could be better? Wine Festival: great time, head is better now, thanks for asking.) There is a book somewhere that I heard of that lists hundreds of topics to write about. While an interesting idea and something I might go look at some time, it still strikes me as rather contrived.
As I said, not a very interesting post. I honestly just feel mentally drained at the moment. Sorry. Maybe I’ll get some nice fall photos in the next few days. We shall see.
Go look at this cartoon (I will stipulate before anyone says anything that this post will have less meaning to the non-CS people in the audience, sorry).
What isn’t fair about this? I mean the joke is funny, I agree. The problem is that given that I am taking Analysis of Algorithms this semester all I can think about when I read it is how one should solve the problem. My gut reaction is that it is NP-complete; kind of a sick social version of the traveling salesman problem, maybe. Or to make the obvious bad math/CS joke, it might be more appropos to use the Clique problem as a analogy.
Have a nice day.
