Just home in Vermont after an insanely busy week down in Cambridge. I had had three meetings by 830 this morning.… The first one was the most interesting. I met with Michael the mobile notary… To start the process of closing on The new house in Portland Oregon. It’s a long story… But Gabe is buying a house in Portland to use while he’s in Grad school… The process was pretty cool… This really nice guy met me at a 6:45 this morning and we signed an inch thick stack of papers together
That was off to Mit for meeting one of my favorite professors… Little did we know that we were all into crazy socks
The rest of the day was a blur with not even 15 minutes to eat. Very interesting though. Then a nice 4 Hour Dr. home to decompress. Happy to be home.
What a cool moment today whenThe world was united by a scientific breakthrough. The event horizon telescope showed us the picture of the first visible black hole. It was the work of eight radio telescope spread across the world focused on the same region of the sky… It was also the work of a young scientist Katy Boumam who just graduated from MIT and will be teaching at Caltech.
GO MIT !!!
It’s so amazing to be seen something like that that we’ve only projected by mathematical models. I’m so excited!
the rest of the day was nice too. Just got back from a nice dinner with friends
And just faced time do with gabe and Diane who are out in Portland together
OK that’s all for today. I have to wake up early tomorrow.
Down in Cambridge… Had a great experience today while visiting Prof Song Han’s Team at MIT. Song has an amazingly strong group of 10 students working on a broad range of artificial intelligence projects. They spent a good part of this afternoon taking us through all of their projects. It was so fun and so impressive.
When we were taking this picture I remembered that in China instead of saying “cheese” to make people smile in the photo you say 茄子. (qiézi) or as I say it ‘chedzu’ . Which means egg plant… Here we all are egg planting !
Being around such smart and hard-working people is what makes this job so wonderful!
Busy day. Was happy to meet up with the father’s group tonight. We were all sitting around thinking about how we been getting together for about 30 years. That’s pretty impressive
We talked about the usual stuff… Our kids, the town, books, microdosing (I guess it’s a thing now)… We are diets, heat pumps, eclipses, tesla coil’s, movies… Mostly fight club…
