Yesterday was rather cool as an event. My presentation went really well, with probably five people so far wanting copies of my presentation. This was not bad, and I am guessing that more people will want copies soon. My talk was the first of the event which led me to be a bit nervous. There was one paper yesterday that I am still convinced has made an assumption that is quite incorrect. If it is, the paper will need a heap of more work to make it usable. I think I have a solution though.

We heard of one presenter who will remain nameless who flew into Phoenix looking for the Tucson Clarion Hotel. The problem is that the two cities are 100 miles apart. Oops. Another presenter talked about one of his experiments that had been removed from the International Space Station only eight hours before. How cool.

There have been so many conversations which have been so cool. Many of them have been off the record, unfortunately. I would love to talk about some of the subjects here but the subjects are too sensative to talk about. I will see what I can mention, but right now there is nothing I can do.

When I was in Bangkok I picked up a Simpsons T-Shirt with Homer Simpson eating on the front. The comment below is “Every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain”. The only problem. Stuff is spelt STUTT!
