Just heard the very cool Vint Cerf speak on the future of the Internet. Am I glad to be in engineering :) Felt energized and quite excited again. Was reminded of naive excitement back in school. A cool quote by him was "Power corrupts, and powerpoint corrupts absolutely. So much effort goes into looking right, the content becomes secondary". Apparently, they have interplanetary protocols running now.

Also, ran into L in the parking lot, inspired me to think of switching jobs. I wasn't alone to think there is something wrong in current setup. He echoed a lot of concerns that have been having, received an invite to discuss further anytime.
