Joy
Monday, August 2nd, 2010
I’m back from the Sci Foo meeting out at Google’s HQ, having taking the jolly red-eye flight from San Jose. And since I’ll doubtless be increasingly incoherent as the day goes on, I thought I’d better go ahead and post now. There was a wide (and strange) variety of people at this meeting – tilted towards comp sci and theoretical physics, I’d say, with a fair number of biologists
