Yes, Virginia, There Really Is an Open Parking Space in Hillcrest


Man, my neighborhood is getting cracked out. At the liquor store tonight, everyone smelled like fruity vodka. But I did find a parking space tonight within 1/2 block of my apartment, which was nice.

p.s. I found this picture by searching Google images for "Fruity Vodka Barf"
p.p.s. If you see girls like this in my neighborhood, they're probably guys.

Boston Housing Dataset Missing From UC Irvine's Site

I'm putting together a series of blog posts on Python for R programmers, and I figured I'd use the Boston dataset of Boston housing prices.  It's a pretty well-known dataset for regression, and it's included in R in the MASS package and in Python in sklearn.datasets .  I know the data originally came from UCI, so I wanted to give credit where credit was due. When I clicked the first few Google links that appeared, I got this message on the UCI site: I'm sorry, the dataset "housing" does not appear to exist. Weird that they're not linked at all, but I found these links. Here's the link to the dataset in their archive. Here's the link to the data dictionary. Enjoy!

I'm Just Here for the Carnage - RoboGames 2007

So here I am in San Francisco, right on the water at Fort Mason for one of the "top geek events" in the U.S. (as proclaimed by Wired magazine).  Let me tell you, if you've never had a cocktail mixed by a robot, you haven't lived. Last night, some dudes brought in a serious robot - a biotech machine - that allowed them to make perfectly-layered B-52 shots.  Each layer was measured out in picalitres. Today, Roboexotica's Cockbot 1 is mixing and serving daquiris, Campari/oranges, and screwdrivers. This is actually Cockbot 1. I can't wait for tonight, when a flamethrowing 151 and Kahlua bot will be shooting a yard's worth of fire to ignite highly-flammible liquor. Stay tuned...
