  1. My desk at quantiFind, looking out on the old royal road. Till I blot out the window with monitors. twitter.com/bgawalt/status…
  2. Threw together my first github repo: github.com/bgawalt/CityPi… Pick a random American city (weighted by that city's population).
  3. Montaro Beach twitter.com/bgawalt/status…
  4. @vogon tam controversy abounds -- the dean told us to leave the hats in our seats for hooding, but no ones listening to him
  5. Graduatin'. Here's a pic from @DrAndyBanandy twitpic.com/9k8qm2
  6. This is not a drill: we have tons of free snacks to give away left over from our vending machine #chi2012 twitter.com/bgawalt/status…
  7. @JakeSwearingen hah!
  8. This is an interesting, quick rundown of Beats by Dre: didn't know Monster Cables was in the mix, but it makes sense. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beats_Ele…
  9. @briangulate twitinfo.csail.mit.edu
  10. Neat hearing @hotvig's use of @_reflect on SlashDot; sounds like a goldmine for curating/growing supervised keyword extraction data #chi2012
  11. MelodicBrush from Huang, Tang, et al: paint calligraphy, hear synced up music tones. #chi2012 twitter.com/bgawalt/status…
  12. Lots of fun showing folks communitysourcing/giving them candy. Swipe cards are yours to keep; drop by anytime! #CHI2012 twitter.com/bgawalt/status…
  13. @kachok We crowdsourced CS exam grading & found MTurkers were bad at it, but also: aggregating many of them by median actually made it worse
  14. PCA/LDA topic modeling was panned as semantically meaningless @ Text Visualization Q&A. What's so wrong with cs.princeton.edu/~blei/papers/C… ? #CHI2012
  15. Umati's set up & ready to vend: booth i305, trading snacks for communitysourced labor @kheimerl @kuang @bjo3rn #CHI2012 represent.berkeley.edu/umati/
  16. (Except it's a ebook so I'm gonna have to turn it off and be bored at some point.)
