Looks like I'll be headed to Lake Tahoe this August for five days of food, wine, and signal processing :cool: . I've just got word that my presentation has been accepted for a conference down there.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I might decide to stick around a couple of days before or after the conference. I figure I could check into one of the local motels somewhere; I could really use a vacation.

Well, if you wanted to hang out in the SF bay area, a couple hours drive west, I might be pursuaded to hang out with you (show you around and whatnot). :D Or is this going to actually be a "vacation" kind of thig?

Thanks! At the moment, I'm going to have to wait to find out how much time I have (we have a big grant/corporate parntership starting in September), and whether or not there's any particular sights in the Tahow area that I want to see. With any luck, I should be able to swing a trip to SF and catch a flight back from there.
