Japan adventure time!! (21 Mar 2013 at 10:20)

Hello! Today I am starting my first real on-purpose vacation ever, a 2.5 week trip to Japan. I've traveled a lot for conferences and work and weddings and stuff, but never really Just Cuz. So that is cool. I probably won't really have Internet or phone, but it's not like I update this thing more than once a month anyway.

I'm going to be gone for SIGBOVIK this year, but I did spend about 4 months on a secret project which I'm eager to show off! I recorded a video explanation and demo for the conference which I'll post here once it passes and I can find Internet. Or go to the conference if you're in Pittsburgh... It's always a good time!

Cool, enjoy! You deserve it for working so hard.

I stopped by because I'm listening to AAD-24 and reminiscing. This album is actually even better than I remembered.

Dear Tom, enjoy Japan. You know Carl Meister is living in Tokyo now?

I thought your program was great. I am wondering if it can handle the game Battletoads ;).

Can your program even see the dots in Pac Man, or are they only present in the PPU's 2K RAM (which you didn't mention being snapshotted in your description)?

I just saw the boing boing article on your video/paper. Congrats! I love how sigbovik is described like a real academic conference!

Dear Tom, I guess you must have been loving your japanese experiences and enjoyed your trip & have had a lot fun! (My husband currently is learning japanese, I guess I should ask him what those words above might mean...?)

BTW: Do you still remember your game called "Escape"? ;-) I'd love you to take a look at it! We're currently (team-)working on some new kind of creating levels, and I think you should just step in and take a look at what we've been doing so far.

Love and hugs MM

Hi Tom,

I took a peek at your video - incredibly interesting research, and thoroughly enjoyed your "tongue in cheek" commentary.

All the best in moving your research forward!

Cheers,

J

Tom, I like the approach you took to making your program. How do you think it would work playing the stock market?

On a scale from "I want my time back now" to "ZOMG! Reading this changed my life, I'm quitting my job ASAP," your paper was a solid 8. I am happy to see that you're still working on interesting things and look forward to more.
