Hi point of today was a drop by six of my friends from the Cambridge MITIBM lap. They’re on their way to a huge AA conference in Montreal called Neurips. Our house was only 100 m out of their way. They showed up mid day and we had like he’s an ice cream. It was so much fun having them up here at our house

We even took advantage of their gigantic minds to help us move our woodstove a few inches

We sent them on their way after dark… Now the house smells like potato pancakes and AI people

It’s also the first night of Hanukkah

Nite all, nite Sam

Worked around the house today which was fun and slow . We put up the holiday lights on the house , cleaned the front entry and finished rebuilding one of our old dressers. We went to the Richmond holiday market and saw all our town friends

We got in a slushy walk with the girls.. then it was time to head to the ibm holiday party.

It was great seeing so many old friends and catching up

The entertainment tonight was a guy that did real time interactive painting. I have never seen anything like it.

He told his life story.. and punctuated it with real time painting. What was cool was that he did most of the painting upside down!

It was a really fun evening… Now I’m too tired to keep my eyes open.

More from tomorrow.

Night all, nights a.m.

Not much new to report… Woke up early and drove back to Vermont. I had to chair or third Vermont state AI task force today. We had speakers in on the impact of artificial intelligence on natural resources in on agriculture. The speakers were really great. I’m really enjoying this work for the state… Gosh… Nothing else happened today.
