Genetic Algorithms, Bacon and an Irish Car bomb

Where do I begin?... I have always had this problem where I cannot figure out how to start a narrative. What makes the story and what parts to leave out? Should I tell you of my adventures at the US Consulate or should I tell you of the time when I was almost robbed in Santa Clara? *shrugs*... I'll just pen whatever comes to mind.



Lets just begin with this - One fine day, a rainy one at that, I sat sipping my daily espresso, half heartedly crawling through my daily feeds on a monitor that I could never seem to set the right brightness on. It would either be too bright or too dim. sigh...
Outlook pops out a notification for a new mail. It read that for some reason, some of the fancy tech that I had worked on caught the attention of the Nvidia nTECH committee and they had decided to call me over to Santa Clara to speak about it. Yes, it was an application of Genetic algorithms to solve a obviously non-deterministic ASIC design problem.

Woohoo?... ('-_-) speaking in front of many people... yay... so exciting (-_-')... I just love speaking to a crowd... yay.... sigh

Things I figured out:

1. People drink way too much coke and pepsi, ie Soda.
2. Weather is awesome. I wanna live there!
3. People don't honk at the signals.
4. They have unicycles.
