Crash
News from the AAS : NASA's Beyond Einstein movie, which runs for about a quarter of an hour, has about 20 seconds of the animation we made for the SDSS.
Jake's show went on brilliantly. He's good. There were about twenty people in the audience, which was good enough to be a success. There weren't any of Wane's kolackies left afterwards, either.
It's hard to ride a unicycle. He said it took six weeks for him to learn. All I can tell you is that six minutes wasn't enough for me.
Managed to compress a 4.5 page paper to 4 pages, and get some feedback from a couple of people saying it would be a 50% chance of getting it in at ICML as they didn't normally accept papers for making pretty pictures. Looks like it's going to a different conference - and I'm not sure yet how I'm getting the dough to go.
Hun had this idea of going to see Crash, which happened to be playing this week on campus as part of MLK Week. For the first time since I've been here, and probably long before, the U of C is actually treating MLK day as a holiday, which is long overdue. Still, only about 20% of the 80-strong audience was U of C affiliated, Anyway, we (JL and RH and Hun and I) enjoyed Crash very much. But as our emotional input buffers were full, we didnt stay for the post-film discussion. Hun did, though. He must have a big buffer.
Wane unintentionally brought up the interesting philosophical point that rabbit pellets are used for both output and input. Well, you're reading this shit I'm writing, so that's quite a perspichowdoyouspellthatious observation on her part.
