Back in Berkeley

I'm in Berkeley this afternoon, to give at talk at SIMS, the School for Information Management Science. Basically I'm arguing that emerging technologies are going render the entire notion of "information science" obsolete. It should be fun.

I'm in Cafe Milano, of course, charging up with a double espresso. I probably drank about a thousand of these when I was a postdoc here. Though my favorite table is taken. It's like other people come here, or something.

It's very nice to be in Berkeley, and if only for a couple hours, to play the role of academic again, especially given how the rest of the week has gone.

I'll probably post the talk later.

Awww, Berkeley. Ever go to Berkel Berkel, or whatever that Thai place was called? I still dream of that red curry.

No, it was gone! At the very least, they're completely renovating it, but it kind of looked like the restaurant had given up the ghost and was out of business. Another piece of my past uprooted and tossed out.... When it happens to Cafe Milano, I'm going to give up and move into the rest home.

Mmmmmm.... rest.... mmmmmm.

What was so unacademic about the rest of the week??
