Rob, you must have had second lunch or dinner? I didn't have time for any carpets... |

No indeed! There are several vegetarians here (it is pretty common among academics) but every meal when we mention it to the staff, they behave as though they've never heard of such a thing, which is pretty funny except for the hunger part... |

I didn't know you were a vegetarian! Yeah, Rob's got the idea, I think.
When my mom went to France, she would ask for the cheese to be left off some things, and be told, "No, we could never do that. It wouldn't taste good." She's joked about that ever since.
Fortunately, this feature is not common to all French-speaking places. Montreal was quite awesome for veggie food.

Actually, I went to the Magic Carpet and had the thing with Ninja in the name (without even having read your recommendation!), and was disappointed by the baked tofu quality quite a lot. |

Only 1 week to go!!! :)

Adam has ported the code to Java for mobile devices. I'm not sure if it can run on the Palm, but I'll ask him. I'm planning to do an iphone port when the development kit becomes available, too. |
| |
Is it possible, or are there any plans to have a palm version in the future? Much of my freetime is spent away from my desktop and my palm is easier to carry than my laptop.
Excellent logic Game. |

Tom- Yeah it does ask for a specific topic, I'm planning on failing the essay. The point of it isn't to score highly on it, its to try and make a point to ETS. If I'm the only one who does this then it will probably go unnoticed, but if others do, it could have an impact. Of course I'm not expecting this to happen, I'm just trying to do my part in as many ways as possible. |

is 1334 a bad score? with a GPA of 3.1. |

Yeah! I think the camera is quite decent, actually. If you download them off the phone rather than e-mail them, then they are about 4x bigger, too.
The activation is done in iTunes, not the store, so there's no chance for haggling! |

Is that photo taken with your iPhone? If so, that's seems to me to be a very fine phone camera!
So did you get a good phone number for it? |

I agree that the SAT essay section (well, I'm too old to have taken that one, but I have taken similar tests) is garbage. The main reason is simply that I do not believe there exist objective criteria for evaluating writing, because brilliant writing does not come from a formula. It's especially pointless for college admissions, where the student gets a perfectly good opportunity to demonstrate his writing in the application.
Phil, doesn't the test ask you to write on a specific topic? If so, you'd probably fail it outright (I'm sure there are many other students who try the "memorize an essay" strategy, and that this is easy to detect) and your protest would only be half-heard by one person. A better option might be to write an op-ed letter to a newspaper. At least then a few dozen people will read it and you can actually put that thing on your college application. |

@*$% the SAT I took it once and got a 2110 (800 reading, 680 math, 630 writing) because i wasted hours of my life studying for it. Now my guidance counsiler has advised me to take it again, so im writing an essay ahead of time, memorizing it, and copying it onto the sat essay section about the SATs detrimental effects on society, and on the confidence of the many bright people who for whatever reason do not do well on it. Maybe if enough people did this it would have an effect who knows.

Check out the Contemporary Art Museum in Nice. And eat violet gelato (despite it being winter). |

I actually like the photo. Try a glass of the local wine, in Nice, not Phili. |

Sadly it shrinks the images quite a lot for e-mail, in fact. I recognize it is a bit big here. In a future iteration I will automatically generate a somewhat smaller thumbnail. Right now my talk for TGC is more pressing... |

cool things in Philly:
- eat at the Magic Carpet food truck -- delicious vegetarian food, just a block away from Levine Hall (ask any local). I think i always liked the thing with "ninja" in the name...
- Center City is nice, east of campus along Walnut Street, for example. Around 20th and Walnut is Rittenhouse Square, a nice little ritzy park with some coffee shops around it.
- For running, there is a dog park. I think it's the one labelled "City Park" on Google Maps, around 11th and Lombard.
- Also, Old City is pretty cool, by the water. I think there is a neat monument/park/thing around S. Columbus and Chestnut, on the Deleware.
- South Street has good nightlifeish things. Camden is not recommended.
cool things in Nice:
- see the Old City here, too, if you get a chance -- "Vieux Nice" in the lingua franca.
- Climb the stairs of the Colline du Chateau for an awesome view of the city. |
