Happy election day. I’m thousands of miles away and waiting like anyone to hear how things are will come out
I got in some crazy politics discussion on the flight over.. and even here.. the whole world is watching.

I had a good and busy day here.. Stayed up late last night working on my day job stuff.. then went to IBM Istanbul.. from there we drove across the Bosporus to Özyeğin University..

 

It was so cool driving from europe to asia in minutes. I chucked a samstone off the bridge.

‘

I loved the folks at Özyeğin .. the students and faculty were wonderful. they took me down to see their robotics club workroom.

on the cab back I saw collection box in the cab.. it’s fa religious charity. it’s funny the word Sadaka is just like the hebrew word Tzedakah (  צדקה  )   or arabic صدقة‎  there’s ‘s a little bit of arabic in turkish.. those are the only words that i even vaguely recognize.. the rest is impenetrable to me .

Then back to IBM for another talk… it was a great crowd. I love being able to meet folks around the company

my talk went well.

ok.. heading back tot eh hotel now.. its already pretty late..

go VOTE if you haven’t done so yet ..

more tomorrow.

nite all nite sam
