| ybit | was looking up oakland california, was curious how far it was from irvine | 00:25 |
| ybit | too far | 00:25 |
| 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) | 00:26 |
| 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 | 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? | 00:53 |
| ybit | it was originally going to be around $17 with jeremiah, and it still may be, but i would plan on $20/night | 00:54 |
| fenn | epcot is in florida, and it's terrible anyway | 01:01 |
| fenn | the exploratorium is pretty cool but that's bay area | 01:02 |
| fenn | i'm fine with whatever hotel | 01:02 |
| 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 | 01:04 |
| ybit | cali has them | 01:05 |
| ybit | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geysers | 01:05 |
| fenn | what about the tar pits | 01:05 |
| 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 | 01:06 |

| 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 |

| nsh | heh: http://sandbox.chad.org/books/Stephenson-Anathem/ | 14:24 |
| nsh | (googled "invoke the steelyard") | 14:24 |
| 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. | 14:26 |

| genehacker | *was made | 23:08 |
| ybit | not surprisingly, there is little information on it | 23:11 |
| genehacker | it looks like it's a special engraving machine that reduces a pattern | 23:15 |
| genehacker | it allows one to make make very precise not very deep cuts | 23:16 |
| genehacker | I am surprised how thin fluidic circuitry is | 23:17 |
