Convergence of an algorithm and why i think the beta band where previously programmers

After my incident with matlab crashing on me somewhere in the early hours of this day its now 8.00 in the morning still sitting at my freshly awoken friends house, listening to some happy ska from the mighty mighty boss tones. Sun is still up there, 2 hours and counting of pure, blissful, uninterrupted sunshine, i think that the sun is going for a year record considering his track behavior for this year. Intentions for whatever this turns out to be (day, hours, minutes): study graph visualization techniques & an intro to spectral graph theory, prove one theorem, an extension concerning regression, some helper functions and work on graph kernels. My attention span is minimal, my ability to hold a train of thought is questionable when I'm really rested and feeling like doing something with my day. So what are the expectations from whatever follows? I really wish I knew.

For some reason I can't stop typing like a tazmanian devil, while i am informed about the latest live gigs from my friend. 16 may funeral for a friend in shepherd's bush, no tickets, goldfinger?3rd of may, can still get tickets. monsters of rock? 38 pounds for alice cooper and deep purple? dunno. SLEEP SOON PLEASE. Also doing some notes on stuff on my moleskine. And looking through some flash cards/to do list on the not so hip hipster look-alike i have laying around like a gutted small notebook all over the floor.

Today i decided i'm also going to try to take a look at some new media projects, or more specifically how can AI and data mining improve the methods for acquisition processing and transmission of newspieces from a grassroots journalists point of view. NOTE TO SELF: Find somebody who really takes media work seriously like a media student or something. Other things that are on my todo list: Set up RoR on the mac today and try out some of their screencast style tutorials. Take a look at visual environments like processing and nodebox (they do have some pretty impressive capabilities at creative & interactive information visualization ranging from scientific to seriously tripping on something that would make mister tim Leary proud and shooting theories about how cognitive evolution was affected by copious neuroactive chemical agents). Really interesting frameworks. Finally, some reading material has to be revised for both science, and strangely industrial design implications on sociological evolution -more especially on that later, on my other blog
