Another long day yesterday. It’s been a long week of long days. I have 32 vacation days saved up now.<\/p>\n

At 4p I found myself in a cafe with a project partner and close friend who I’ve traveled with extensively in the global south. Good guy, smart guy, honest guy. We were there to catch up about some Big Data projects being paid for by Washington and he invited an IBM analyst to join us, someone going for a masters now after 20 years of business development for Big Blue. It was a good conversation with lots of interest from all. Lots of ideas, lots of possibilities. As we spoke, another colleague happened by (the cafe was attached to a one of the schools here), a lecturer in the conflict program and former tank commander in Israel. We talked about predictive modeling and sensor mechanisms and how to create better sensors out of human beings and how to process human information in the way we’re now processing big data<\/a>. Very eye opening and interesting.<\/p>\n

I always get the sense the tank commander is still trying to get an accurate read of us. His questions are always a little more probing than you’d expect, though we’re used to that now.<\/p>\n

Directly from that I went to train and by the time I got home it was close to 9:45p. I ate, showered, and slept by 1a. At 8a when my alarm went off, it took everything I had to get up. I’m still slightly out of it– it’s the feeling of waking up after 4 hours of sleep, but I actually got 7 hours. Not sure what’s up with that. I’m pretty sore, upper and lower body, which I like. I probably just need to recover more.<\/p>\n

I skipped jam last night, partly because of the other things I had going on, and partly because I just wasn’t in the mood. Not sure what’s up with that, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
