ICORR2005 is ending tomorrow. My poster presentation and lab tour are both today and at this moment, I am done. It is time to start the cool summer and delve myself into open source codes.
After acceptance of summer of code, my email box on bert is flooded with maillist emails and I didn't have time to look at all of them. When I am reading them today, I found lots of things have been going on, and the first weekly update was due on Tuesday (ouch!). Well, a cup of coffee and 2 hours after midnight always work for the overdue projects ( I hoped they also work for the credit cards :-) ).
Doing a mentored project with peers to discuss with is of much fun. These used to be my happy memories in Moto, and now google is bringing them back.

[d] back from Atlanta
Memories vanish with time. I remember the Chinese proverb: "good memory is not as useful as a crapy pen". But still two days passed away before I get time to write something about Atlanta trip. Next time (I always say this), I will do things timely.
Started from Chicago, along I-57, I-24, then I-75, the 800 miles trip was a good drive. Although along the highway, Kentucky and Tenesse seemed to be all wildness to me, Atlanta was just great. I should also say this for Nashiville, where we stayed for the first night.
We toured world of Coca-cola, CNN center, Centennial Park, State Capitol and MLK historical site. The last night we went to Stony Rock Park and watched the laser show. The rock and the show were gorgeous. Oh, I forgot to mention that I bought a basket of genuine Georgia peaches along the way, and distributed it to office mates:).

[e] China is getting more attention
I got my June 2005 IEEE Spectrum today. The cover page features a Chinese Engieer, with the bilingual descriptive language 中国的技术革命 (China's Tech Revolution). Being the largest society in the hi-tech field, it does mean something for IEEE to choose China as a special report topic.
This is not an individual event. From the far side, I noticed that on May 22, 2005, NYTimes published columnist NicholasD.Kristof's article: 从开封到纽约--辉煌如过眼烟云(Glory is as ephemeral as smoke and clouds). From the near side, two Chinese Postdocs and two Chinese research Engineers joined SMPP this month, making Chinese researchers the second largest racial group here.
Another interesting fact is that in the recent Summer of Code hold by google. The number of proposal authors ranked third among the whole applicants. No wonder visa regulations for Chinese students and scholars to enter U.S has been greatly relieved.
