Vancouver for CCECE ‘07
I’ll be in Vancouver in April next year at the IEEE’s CCECE 2007 presenting my undergrad thesis on the “Smart Parking Lot” simulation that I developed. I’ve always wanted to visit Vancouver and actually spend some time there after having passed through there so many times, so this will be the perfect opportunity!
All Done
So I’ve finished undergrad and as I told others earlier, it’s somewhat surreal, more so relieving. I’d like to say I’m done classes forever, but nothing is concrete at this point. I’m off to Montreal on Thursday for a few days before the Vegas trip. Onto the next step!
Vegas!
I’m heading to Vegas near the end of the month, staying until just before Christmas. I’ve never been, and am very much looking forward to it!
Keynote - The Mac’s Killer App?
I’m going to be as bold as to nominate Keynote as the Mac’s killer app, especially for college students. I don’t know how I got by making presentations before using Keynote’s Presenter Display mode. There’s a lot of great applications on the Mac that I’d find it hard to be without, but Keynote certainly stands out among them.
The Fountain - Soundtrack
Having just seen The Fountain, not only did I think it was a spectacular movie, but I was also blown away by its soundtrack. It’s very beautiful violin and orchestral, with a really melodramatic and somber tone. Highly recommended.
Welcome Back
I’m going back to basics with this blog. I’ll be posting here occasionally, but mostly just using it as a home base of sorts.
Laser Eye Surgery (part 9) - At last, good vision!
With all this vacation craziness I almost completely forgot to give an update on the LASIK process. I did my one month visit with my Optometrist on Friday and I couldn’t be happier. Both my eyes are now seeing 20/20 (improved from 20/30 since my last post) and everything seems to be shaping up.
The halo effect has subsided slightly, and that will only improve with time. The optometrist figures my eyes are just slow to heal in general. This is fine by me, as long as they get to where they need to be.
What’s really remarkable in having drastically improved vision are just the day-to-day little things. Without glasses, being able to see the stars, read a sign in a restaurant, look across the water and being able to see every detail clearly. It makes all the difference in the world.
