Steve is back! His team placed second in the AI challenge, out of 67 or so teams from around the world... a pretty big deal! I'm so proud of them. He's still pretty worn out from all of this traveling, but it sounds like he had a great time in Europe. This is a boy who never flew in a plane until after he graduated from high school, and now he's ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!

Now you're 21... we can make rum cake for your birthday! :D

I've really been neglecting to update lately. I feel bad about it, because I like keeping a journal. Well, I suppose that everyone goes through slow phases. Mine just happen to last six months or so ( Read more... )
