busy busy busy

So I have some interesting projects I'm working on here at Stanford.
1) trying to count and track stem cells that are dividing so that the biology researchers can quickly get the results of their experiments.
2) implementing a speech recognition system for the Stanford STAIR robot.
3) implementing a visual classifier for five objects, e.g. implementing something for finding all the mugs in a photo.

This has been a really busy quarter and at the moment I'm studying for my midterm test, or exam rather. It's three hours, so I class that in the exam category...

But anyway a happy Fat Tuesday to all, bring on Lent...

Two years away from home

The other day was my two year anniversary of being away from home. It seems awfully long ago now. I hope that all will go to plan and I will be able to travel back for a visit this year.

Otherwise I have been rather busy, and the time has just been flying by. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about where I'm from completely. Every now and then I do get nostalgic, e.g. about what I would be doing at this certain time of the year, etc...
