guslYesterday, I introduced Daniel Dennett to Manuela Veloso (after he left), after her talk on her soccer-playing robots. Spoke with some Harvard CS professors and students.
Then I went to MIT to see the play "QED", followed by a panel of Feynman's friends. After that, I went up to the panelists. Then I got dinner with Marvin Minsky, and a bunch of other people who knew Richard Feynman. Quite surreal. Minsky introduced me to Push, who told me I should show up at the Media Lab, and he will give me a tour of the OpenMind project.
My childhood dream is now fulfilled! (tongue-in-cheek)
