Hubris
by Chris on Sep.28, 2004, under General Thoughts
I attended the first meeting of the school year for the U of A’s Machine Learning Reading Group yesterday, and I was struck by how staggeringly out of my depth I was. The round table was surrounded by professors, graduate students, postdocs, department heads, and one other undergrad student — the organizer of the session. And me.
I’m starting to wonder if perhaps I’m taking on too much. Not the classes, per se, but the extracurricular stuff.
On the other hand, thanks to a bit of prodding from said organizer, I’m starting to rediscover my interests in AI, which had fallen by the wayside over the years as I was outside of academia. Maybe that’s what I’m interested in? I hope to find out someday soon

This is odd, running across you here. So, whatever happened to your car after that accident? The one in which I was the only person strapped into a safety belt? I should probably stop being so cryptic. You probably don’t remember me, but I am Mary-Ann. An American friend who dated a Canadian you once knew who’s father wouldn’t let you drive his car.
Just wanted to drop in and say Hi.
Toodles, Meh.

No, I remember you.
That is kind of odd. How did you find this site?
(That’s not a complaint, that’s curiosity — I didn’t realize any of this identified me. You’re quite the sleuth, obviously)

Oh the sleuthing part, I didn’t respond to in email.
I was looking up Calgary, and your blog said the word “Calgary” enough times for detection by Google. I read the part about Calgary and immediately recognized when you started talking about Beau. Well, Beau and mentioning “Jamie Wood.”
