Nota Bene
The sport of Tennis is not played optimally while wearing dress pants and winter boots. However, doing so makes for a better excuse than just being plain out of shape.

Too Hot Outside, Too Cold Inside
Well, after spending the better part of last week sick with the worst flu in recent memory, I recovered just in time to fly down to Orlando, Florida, where I am writing from now. I’m attending the inexplicably named Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI, and presenting a paper here.
I am a terribly boring traveller, so I don’t really have anything exciting to relate, except the fact that I was “randomly selected” for additional searching at the border. I blame racial profiling!
I’m told that most of the communities outside of Orlando are basically run by Disney, who sell the various utilities/garbage disposal/etc. since they aren’t offered by any municipal government. A sign that we are truly in a dystopian future, if true!
In any case, I will be back in Fredericton sometime next week. I say that now based on the likelyhood I’ll update this page between now and then. (It’s not very high!)
In the meantime, wish me luck for tomorrow morning.
