Back and busier than ever.

I'm back in NY/NJ and working for the apple store on 5th avenue. Things are crazy there, since the new iPhone 3G is out in stores.

At home, I'm working on my entry for the 2008 Parallax Propeller Design Competition. I don't think I should talk much about it here, but it's going to be a lot of fun, even if it doesn't work quite right.

I'm also doing a lot of reading from the NYU Library's AI section in order to gear up for a project I'll be doing this fall semester. I'm not sure which, but I'll either be programming a chatbot or a program that guesses at pictionary. Either one would be a blast. I'm leaning towards the latter, but my advisor for the project is going to be Professor Dougherty, (a computational linguistics professor), so I think he's going to lean towards the former. In any case, I'm giving myself a crash course in AI concepts and techniques, so I can be ready (and build my resume) for grad school in 1 year.

I hope you all are AOK.
