00:24 < ybit> note to self, bookmark tabs before going into private mode
00:25 < ybit> was looking up oakland california, was curious how far it was from irvine
00:25 < ybit> too far
00:26 < ybit> am wondering if there's something to visit while there, something like the blue brain project, or a tour through something like the allen institute or EPCOT as mention on OM mailing list
00:26 < ybit> or someone in california having something futuristic, similar to the venus project research center (which is up for sale)
00:27 < ybit> 00:26 < Flannel> ybit: Well, about 90 minutes south of that is Balboa Park (in San Diego) which is a bunch of museums, including Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.  Irvine  is next to Disneyland (and the other stuff at that same location), and there's also a discvery center in Irvine too, although I've never been there.   Let me find it
00:27 < ybit> 00:27 < Flannel> http://www.discoverycube.org/
00:27 < ybit> 00:27 < Flannel> That's the one in Irvine... er, Excuse me, Santa Ana.  It's right there.
00:28 < ybit> meh
00:36 < ybit> i wonder if visiting berger's lab would be interesting at all..
00:42 < ybit> http://www.californiasciencecenter.org/ is downtown

00:53 < ybit> i bet guys from somewhere like http://sio.ucsd.edu/ might know of some interesting things to do.. planning on shooting a few emails tomorrow to a few people in the area
00:53 < ybit> btw, kanzure, fenn: are you two okay with the hotel i mentioned and paying me when i get to austin?
00:54 < ybit> it was originally going to be around $17 with jeremiah, and it still may be, but i would plan on $20/night
01:01 < fenn> epcot is in florida, and it's terrible anyway
01:02 < fenn> the exploratorium is pretty cool but that's bay area
01:02 < fenn> i'm fine with whatever hotel
01:04 < fenn> LA sucks; why would anyone hold a progressive tech conference there? :P
01:04 < ybit> i wouldn't mind visiting some geothermal power plant
01:04 < fenn> do those actually exist in america?
01:04 < ybit> you only get to see them near the tectonic plates 
01:05 < ybit> cali has them
01:05 < ybit> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geysers
01:05 < fenn> what about the tar pits
01:06 < fenn> you could watch animatronic dinosaurs drown to death
01:06 < ybit> hehe, that might be fun
01:06 < fenn> that 'power plant' is about as large as one of the air conditioners at UT

11:19 < ybit> kanzure: so your group is building some type of way to find out where people are with similar interests in a certain area through wireless networks?
11:26 < kanzure> no

11:31 < ybit> heh, yeah, i see that on my phone through twitter now

12:03 < ybit> interesting story, i was hit on some guy who ran a stem cell research center, he kept inviting me to come out there and when i told him that i wasn't interested in men, he immediately quit talking to me
12:03 < ybit> okay, it isn't interesting but i was reminded of that when looking at the stem cell research center in irvine
12:06 < ybit> http://www.uci.edu/research.php
12:07 < ybit> look at the image on the top, something like that would be interesting to visit
12:23 < kanzure> http://fastwishes.com/
12:27 < ybit> that's a good idea
14:01 < kanzure> yes go ahead on the hotel room

14:22 < ybit> ..from my workplace
14:24 < nsh> heh: http://sandbox.chad.org/books/Stephenson-Anathem/
14:24 < nsh> (googled "invoke the steelyard")
14:26 < nsh> Gardan's Steelyard:
14:26 < nsh> A logical rule-of-thumb, analogous to Occam's Razor. A 'steelyard' is a scale, thus the lighter or least complicated idea rises to the top when balanced against a heavier, more complicated idea.
14:26 < nsh> The word "steelyard" is probably a reference to Orazio Grassi's book of 1619, "The Balance", which weighed Galileo's early works and found them wanting.

22:43 < ybit> the default bpython color scheme is terrible on a white background

23:03 < genehacker> anyone know how a pantograph engraver is used?
23:04 < genehacker> apparently its how fluidic circuitry is made
23:08 < genehacker> *was made
23:11 < ybit> not surprisingly, there is little information on it 
23:15 < genehacker> it looks like it's a special engraving machine that reduces a pattern
23:16 < genehacker> it allows one to make make very precise not very deep cuts
23:17 < genehacker> I am surprised how thin fluidic circuitry is 
23:17 < genehacker> it's like 0.3 mm thin
