Apr. 26th, 2003 01:22 amWoo! We met again with the professor with whom we are working on Hacking Project 1, and he hinted/suggested/asked to be a co-author on our paper. That certainly gives us a good sense of legitimacy. And on Wednesday the prof leading our (different group) current research project came to Berkeley for the day... he and I had a good meeting.. and he proclaimed that I should be a coauthor on the paper, that is being submitted to the journal of structural biology! <crosses fingers> To get out of Berkeley with publications in Geophysics, Structural Biology, and Computer Security would be pretty nifty...
This evening I went with some fine folks from IEEE to see the production of Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe. It was really great and I learned a bit about Buckminster Fuller. Quite a character he was. Inventor of the geodesic dome, and a utopiaist. Made me want to get some drinking straws and string. I also got to thinking: imagine what it would be like to put all these people in the same room: Bucky Fuller, Ayn Rand, Howard Hughes, Albert Einstein... it would be pretty funny!
The show is playing at the Project Artaud theatre in San Francisco, just a few blocks east of the 16th and Mission BART station. For this weekend, tickets are 3-for-1 with Student ID! meaning it costs only $10 each if you have a group of three. Tonight the IEEE paid for all of us (thanks Thomas!). (-: I nearly missed them since I went directly to the BART station rather than the IEEE office.. caught them right as they were getting on the train ("are you with eye-triple-ee? are you with ieee?..")
Houseparty tomorrow. Excellent!
