Momel, Colbert, Cosmus, Snowballs

Good progress with the pitch stylization algorithm Momel today, thanks to the prompt response of one if its authors to my plea for help. Must say, his C code is a lot faster than the corresponding praat implementation. And using snack is a joy!


Terry Gross had an interview with Stephen Colbert today. I didnt know he was a practising Catholic! Or that he was at Second City. Or that people actually had to practice diction. Or that he had a professional life other than The Daily Show. There's also an interview with him by FilmForce that makes good reading. Oh, and he went to Northwestern.

Much discussion with MS, RL & DR about converting Cosmus to a service provider for making visuals for scientists. They're interested, DR even suggested the NSF grant we apply for.

Good snowball fight. We're a bunch of weenies though, got tired after half an hour of missing each other. Other than the one Misha clobbered my nose with before I knew we'd started.

JL started a machine learning blog. So far so good...
