Back to PARC after Memorial Day weekend

I went back to PARC today without the rental car since I had to return it back on Sunday. So, I took the Dumbarton Express bus, and it worked out pretty ok, took me about 30 minutes to get to PARC. There was a speaker there who talked about pervasive healthcare, very interesting subject, the application of pervasive computing to healthcare. It's very big especially it seems in Europe. The European researchers seem to be doing some really cool things and they have the research funds and grants to do them. The government pays for the education, so the students who enroll in the university program don't have to pay a cent on tuition.

I spoke with an interesting PARC researcher on the way back and told him about the project I was working on, and he seemed very interested in it, and wanted to participate. So, I will add him to the list of people that I have to conduct surveys and interviews on. I still have to finish writing a paper by the end of this Friday, which happens to be my birthday! I also managed to make tuna casserole tonight following the recipe from Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals. Unfortunately, it took me more than 30 minutes, 1 hour to be exact. I'm not quite the cook yet, but I'm learning. Here's how the tuna casserole looked like.
