Tonight heading up to
Tonight heading up to the city with James for a geek dinner.
I just finished reading The Predictors by Thomas Bass. He wrote a great book The Eudaemonic Pie many years ago. Both books are about the same group of young and then grown up physicists first trying to break the game of roulette, and then the game of international derivative markets. The first book was excellent, and their enterprise a failure. Sadly, the later book is disappointing. Skips over all the mathematical, economic, and trading details... and focuses on well worn points, and misses some others.
Wednesday morning I had to subject myself to more INS prompted medical interference - vacinations for mumps, measles, rubella, and chicken pox. It hadn't really registered with me that today was halloween. So, at the clinic, when this nurse wearing a tight black dress, feather scarf, and klosh called out my name I was a bit perplexed that the city of san jose would allow such a liberal dress policy.
Tuesday evening had a few drinks and a meal with some friends. James and Jim, the neighbours who run the popular meet someone cute service www.hotornot.com, and Michael who I worked with at Netscape.
