Dateline Stanford: Back to the grind

It has been a while since my last update...

I'm settling in at work... I actually biked there one time last week. It's a good excuse for me to get in better shape and enjoy the outdoors here more. Plus parking is much easier that way, since I usually arrive at work around 10:30 and the good spots are all gone.

This past week I went to the men's basketball game against Washington State. At the end of the first half we had about a 10 point lead, but we blew it open in the second half, leading by as much as 50 at one point. It was still a cool game because they really put on a show making a bunch of three pointers and stealing and fast-break dunking. Saturday, Arthur Lee came up with a three pointer, a steal and some clutch free throws to put away Washington. I watched the game on TV. 13 wins in a row. Undefeated in the PAC-10. Can you say "It's Cardinal Chaos, Baby"? :)

Sunday I went to see _What Dreams May Come_ with Robin Williams. It was a very surreal movie. It felt like the whole thing was a dream.

Yesterday we had a mini poster fair thing in my Interdisciplinary Interaction Design class. The topic was Human-Food Interaction. My group did a poster on "Virtual Meality" - a restaurant chain with videoconferencing so you can have a meal with someone across the country.

In other news, be sure to check out Apple's ad in the SuperBowl on Sunday. It features HAL 9000 from _2001: A Space Odyssey_ and will air during the first commercial break after kickoff.
