Fortune and Glory
January 28, 2012Welcome to 2012 people!
Apparently I forgot how to write blog posts at some point last year, and so this is going to be a news roundup with special events since my last post.
- Tika in Action is published in paperback and now available on Amazon.com.
- I wrote 13+ proposals to NASA, NSF and the NIH, most of which to date have not been funded.
- Christian is 2.5 and growing up fast. He's already out of the crib and into his own bed.
- Lisa, Christian and I took a Christmas road trip to Roswell, NM (15 hours from Rancho Cucamonga, CA on day 1), and then to San Antonio, TX, and then from there to Victoria, TX. Then we decided to drive 22 hours in a single day to get home. Yes, that's bucket list shit.
- I discovered Yelp!.
- I discovered MyFitnessPal.
- I got Siri and an iPhone 4s.
- I started Teaching again.
- I made some awesome assignments for CSCI 572: Information Retrieval and Search Engines at USC.
Other than that, just trying to keep my head above water. I'll try and post more often but can't promise anything.
I'll leave you guys with my AGU Ignite talk on NASA ♥ Apache open source software.
