Finished internship at PARC

Wow, I can't believe 3 months have passed by so fast here in Palo Alto. Today was my last day at PARC. I really enjoyed working at PARC, it is such a great environment with great people and great research. Also, I am glad I had the opportunity to do sightseeing and have fun in the Bay Area. Some highlights were the bike ride in San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, Fisherman's Wharf and the cable car, the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, Monterey Bay, Half Moon Bay, visit to the Intel Museum in Santa Clara, visit to Google, visit to HP Labs, visit to Microsoft Research, visit to Sun Labs, visit to the San Jose museum of innovation, and visit to the Computer Museum in Mountain View (hey, fun also means visiting the techie stuff in Silicon Valley too!)

I'll be presenting my paper entitled "A Social Hypertext for Finding Community in Blogs" at the Hypertext conference next week in Denmark. So I'm off traveling again for a 2nd time in Europe. Watch this space for slides and the podcast of my talk. Thanks Silicon Valley for a great time here! Hope I can come by again in the future.
