Alright, so today was an eventful day. Started the morning with a malfuntioning alarm clock and ended up missing half of the first talk. It wasn't that big of a deal though as it was an invited talk about oceans and not really relevant to our research interests. The rest of the day was pretty much filled by talks. Today was better than yesterday as I actually understood about half of them. The best part of today was definitely the ferry ride across the bay. The ride out was pretty cool (albeit an hour and a half long), the food on the island was okay (I'm not a big fan of salmon), but the ride back was awesome. It started out with Taylor and I creating an ad hoc wireless network with our laptops and LAN'ing some video games right there on the ferry. After that we went out on the deck and looked at the Seattle skyline as we approached. It was amazing. Tomorrow will be interesting; we have to carry our luggage around with us at the conference. Ah well, hopefully it all goes well.
