I'm currently in the process of reevaluating my blog. Thus, the current "hibernation" stage. I hope to come back fresh and in full later this semester. Thanks for reading!

I just returned this week from my awesome vacation in Alaska. It is one of the most amazing places I have visited. Its spectacular scenery makes you feel like you are in a postcard the whole time. I will post some pictures as soon as I sort through the thousands (literally) of pictures that my wife ...

I will be on vacation for the next two weeks. Since it is getting warmer and that would just feel too comfortable, I am going up north to Alaska, where it is still somewhat chilly. Nothing fits better together than cruises and sweaters.

Readers of this blog have probably seen me write a lot about Cyclopath and my research. The Cyclopath project is really cool and one which I am proud to be a part of. But the fact is that Cyclopath is just one of the many cool projects that go on in my research lab, GroupLens. We have a great team a...

At the beginning of the semester I had talked about trying out the game of Go. And I have to say it was a great choice. I have fallen in love with the game. I am playing almost every day and have blasted through 14 books on the topic already. I recommend this game to everyone. I will most definitely...

This week I submitted my first paper to a conference. Well, technically it was a note, which means it is only four pages long. And I was second author. But it is still the first paper to go out there with my name on it. The process was pretty tiring, but it was worth it. We went from general outlin...

I apologize for the recent lack of posting. I'm in the middle of writing a research note for a conference deadline this Monday. Meanwhile, head on to the Fail Blog for some entertainment.

Hard to believe as it may be, there are actually people who go out as masked heroes and try to fight crime. Reminds me a lot of Watchmen. Read more about it in the articles Cincinnati Patrolled By Real-Life Superheroes. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? and The Legend of Master Legend. The "Consortium o...

Today I ran my first 5k since I moved to MN (and my second ever). I had done terrible my first time, arriving second to last out of around 15 runners. This time I set a personal goal of finishing in less than 30 minutes. This race was quite bigger than the one I went to in Puerto Rico (although the...

One of the features I have been working on for some time in my lab was just released this past week. Cyclopath, the geowiki for bicyclists, now supports tagging. It is just too cool. Here are two short videos that one of my teammates prepared explaining how tags are used in the system.
