Finished Human Race and ranked 13,363.

Had a pretty good run.

I've been running with a couple of buddies from work for a while now and recently I bought the Nike+ gadget to track my runs. It's simple but does the job. One thing it doesn't have is GPS, so I borrowed a GPS device to map our trail.

We're pretty lucky, we have a great nature park, starting right behind our office.

Here's a map of the trail

A while ago I took some pictures on the trail (I mentioned it before on this blog). It's like a local Serengeti.

Ola niƱos. Hope you recover from the shock of seeing a new entry on this blog. Haven't been here in a while. Looks like this is all still up and running. I'm surprised I still remember my mt password.

So why this entry ? Well, I've done another thing I haven't done in a while: I wrote yet another note in LaTeX solving some simple problem in a pompous way. I used Scala to implement the solution. Scala is coming along nicely, it feels natural to me and it has some powerful abstractions and features. There's definitely a buzz about it. A book on it is now available, the Eclipse plugin behaves well and there are open source projects that use it.

This handsome fellow landed on the lamp post next to our house and waited patiently until I got my camera.

I took my new camera (Nikon D40x) for a spin to shoot some bird photos at Shoreline Park in Mountain View.
