I did a bit of a European tour of Apple offices this week -- I flew out Sunday evening, arrived for meetings in Zurich on Monday, trained to Paris on Tuesday, meeting on Wednesday, flew to Barcelona on Thursday, and flew home on Friday. I made it on time to Philly, but then my flight to Pittsburgh was 6 hours late, so I decided to drive, but then got tired and so stopped for the night in Harrisburg.
100% interesting, fun, and probably don't recommend the condensed schedule, but nice to be back!
it's kind of amazing to me that I get to work in the best university in the world, less than 3 hours away from my rural hometown. it's also amazing to me how people will go so far from their homes and family to study here. if we keep treating the superstars who come here to study badly, they'll go elsewhere, and I worry that will mean my kids will go elsewhere too --
"If my kids excel, will they move away?"

On May 22, 1980, the original Pac-Man made its debut and quickly became more than just an arcade hitβit marked a milestone in computing. It demonstrated early AI with ghosts that followed distinct behavioral algorithms, pushed real-time processing on limited hardware, and showcased intuitive, user-friendly design. It also was an example of early cross-platform development. A lot of fun, and a leap forward in computing!
