I made a mistake and played some crow sounds from youtube. Caya sat bolt upright from being nearly asleep and was adament I show her the crows.

Did I mention she loves crows?

Anyway, she used this opportunity to guilt me and commandeered my arm, making typing slow. The purring is pretty great, though. #cats

Photos from King's Joy, the only totally vegetarian, three-Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. It is next to the Lama temple and was amazing.

Their signature dish. A mushroom "biscuit" on a hawthorne berry gel (basically a fruit roll up). The curls are Comte cheese and pickled ginger.
A mushroom, goji berry and pea tart. I've never had a fresh goji berry before so this was interesting!
A sampler of flavors: the first is a crunchy fruit wrapped around mushroom for a sweet, sour taste, the next was a avocado sushi roll with tiny pomegranate seeds on the top and the last was a fried sticky rice cake.

I wrote a blog post about my job! Since a lot of folks have written about what it is like being faculty (in particular Vijay's excellent book), I thought I would be useful to write something about being an industrial researcher. So if you are wondering what it is like being an MSR researcher, I've tried to give folks a peek into my role.

It was really meant to be a summary of my experiences from the last 6 years but it turned into an acknowledgement of the lovely people that I have worked with since I graduated!

Max went earlier this week to inspect the greenhouse, especially because I moved his catnip in there. #cats obviously it was colder when we went to visit last.

Fun Fact: I just realized that sometimes I have lessons at the same session as the US figure skating Junior men’s champion! I had no idea he was that good and he definitely seems more chill than many of the other skaters there.

I would have thought that if there was anything we could trust Texans with, it'd be peppers, but apparently that is not true at all.

Our household is a democracy but the cats outnumber the people, which is why we spend most of our time at home asleep. #cats

Max and Minion are chewers so I get them these dog treats, dried turkey tendons. Fortunately, the two of them can share one. And Pixel just doesn’t understand why they would want such a thing.

Calling all distributed systems folks, we are working on building a testing framework for TCP for our deterministic TCP stack. I want to share some basic reading on logical time and causality in distributed systems for Pedro, what would you recommend?

Sometimes leftover dumplings are even better because you can fry them on THREE sides. No one ever said, this dumpling is too fried.
