Woke up to find this guy looking at me in the bathroom window. . Not just lookign at me.. charging at me through the window. I actually had to close the curtain to prevent him (her ?) from breakign the window.  

Came down stairs.. saw this picture of Sam and Gabe on our photo frame.. 

Got a few hours to dig into my poor  broken tesla coil. Iturns out it had two fried IGBT’s.. I was able o find the number, order some.. adn was able to replace them .. and it worked !  (that is after I realize i’d mad e a sall short and cleared it) 

Later on.. we headed up to Deb’s.. .. it is Rory’s 2nd brithday !

I got to practive the new cupcake trick..  You cut (or tear) it and then put the botton on top of the icing. 

Fun day..

Woke up early and went for a run on the charles.. always brings back memories of living here.. almost 50 years ago !

I stayed last night in the hyatt.. its where my folks stayed on the day I graduates in 1981. 

I walked across campus to kendal square .. it used to be a dangerous part of town.. now its the the center of the bio tech universe. 

I I found the MIT/NAE conference.. and met up with my BETA friends. First speaker was my freind Tsu-Jae, the president of the NAE. 

one of the main speakers was Yann lecunn.. unfortunately he couldnt be here in person.. he gave a great talk

the rest of speakers weere a very interesting mix.. lots of ‘amaing things that AI can do/ will do:.. and lots of AI is makign us stupider”
