Look at Boston up there with London and Edinburgh! It was on the map once. In the 1300s. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
boston (16 out of 48)
- Continued to bum around feeling unhappy. Even though there are lots of wonderful people here whom I will miss enormously, I'm still itching to leave.
- I dropped in on a DIG meeting. Afterwards, talked to Timbl about decentralisation and the future (or not?) of the Web; and listened to an interesting chat between Sandro and David Karger.
- I had dinner at the new Cornish Pasty Co place with Liz and Beth.
- I skipped out on the final W3C lunch because I was feeling crappy, but wish I hadn't. I did manage to run into Amy vdH, Wendy, Philippe, Dmitri, DanF, Nicola, and others, before the end of the week (which came early due to Thanksgiving) though.
- I joined Ilaria's PhD student research group meeting, and ate Ilaria's delicious homemade risotto.
- I had my PhD review meeting. Could have been better. I need a better idea of what my final conclusion is, and how to evaluate it.
- I had dinner and very interesting conversation with John Klensin at Zhu.
- Watched rather a lot of Voyager, Scandal, and Black Mirror.
- Hiked in the Blue Hills Reservation.
- Saw Doctor Strange
- Read some papers..
- Went back to Boston. Bummed around feeling generally unhappy about being the US.
- Hung around at the very small pre-SocialWG IWC. Caught up on blog posts and logs, didn't actually code anything.
- Social WG 8th face-to-face.
- Saw Arrival.
- Subsisted almost entirely on leftovers from the working group meeting.
- Went looking for a coffeeshop to work from, and accidentally ended up touring the USS Constitution.

Back Bay Logan Express
$7.50 (€6.73 / $7.50 / £6.08)
Frustrating MBTA commuter rail experience as no ticket booths open late, no card transactions on board train, and no online sales, only an app that doesn't work on my phone.
But crisis averted as the staff practice (or at least did tonight) benevolent negligence: telling you sternly that you need to get off at the next stop if you can't pony up enough cash or figure out how to install the app, and that they'll be back to check on you in a minute.... and then never returning.
