Observatins from Today

  • As I was driving to a coffee meeting at 9:30 in the morning, my navigation system said "destination, ahead, 500 feet, on the left." I retorted: "Your Mom's on the left." My navigation system didn't respond.
  • Kartik pointed out that retroviruses are 'oldschool.' Which is an ironic pun because HIV, the most famous of retroviruses, was not discovered in humans until very recently.
  • I had my first encounter of knowing someone purely from a facebook photo...I was very sure the person next to me in coffee was in a picture with a facebook friend of mind. This was quite distracting, not to mention concerning in confirming of my overuse of facebook.
  • We did not have any candles left, so we acted out candles for our Friday night Shabbat dinner by using the same hand gestures Stanford fans use when cheering on a player during free throws. The whole spirit fingers gesture thing. What a versatile hand gesture.
So with that *spirit figure gensture* goodbye and goodnight.
