LibraryThing

I've stumbled across a site (actually, linked to courtesy of friends at Language Log) that looks fun for book geeks: LibraryThing. My user name is kuritaro and I've just posted my latest acquisition.

The Neti Pot

I came across this flyer on my last trip to the laundromat, on the same bulletin board as I found "Actual Texans".


Before you go out and buy your very own Neti Pot, click on the picture and look closely at the man's left nostril.

...

Yeah.

SALT program

The program for SALT 2007 is up - my talk is the last one on Friday. You can look at the abstract (if you really want to) here.

Posting from Georgetown University

I've just arrived at Georgetown University, finished checking in to the conference, and am now at the library. The campus is beautiful.

I left from Hartford today at 7am (yikes) and arrived in Maryland, then took the train to Washington. Union station is impressive.

Hopefully I'll have time to do some sightseeing in the next few days. But I'll be spending most of my time attending talks, and fretting about my own.

Will try to buy a disposable camera, take some pictures, and post after getting back to Massachusetts.

Over and out.

Accomodations in DC

I just reserved a room at a hostel in Washington DC. First class all the way.

Actual Texans

I came across this flier at the laundromat today:





















ACTUAL Texans?! Honey, quick, get the camera!

Back from a long hiatus

It's been almost two months since I've posted. Sorry.

In the interim since my last post, I have built a new computer, which I have up and running on Linux. I ended up going with the Mepis distribution - and have been quite happy with it. No more M$ for me.

I'm going to Washington DC next weekend to present at GURT 2007 (you can see my talk listed by clicking on conference program and then scrolling down to Saturday, 3pm).

I also found out last week that I'll be presenting a paper I'm co-authoring with Chris Potts and Peggy Speas at SALT.

In family news, there is a new canine member of the Davis family:






"Coal Davis"

aahhhh.

That's it for now.
