Various things have reminded me that I've not posted much here recently, so here it goes. I'm back in Boston, doing another internship at France Telecom R&D. I'll be playing with shiny new cellphones that do all sorts of neat tricks with the Internet ("futurephones").

I (as of a month ago) have a lovely ladyfriend, Tina, who is now living in Rochester. She has made me quite happy as of recent and things with us should be going well.

This summer I packed light -- 3 bags: Clothes (the biggest), Books, and Tech. I have been pondering minimalism recently and how best to achieve it in my life. Materialistic minimalism anyhow; the technological minimalism will be for later.

As I'm staying at my dad's appt., I get to exchange my nice, private Rochesterian room for a mattress behind a couch. It's the trade-off I have to make to have a job that I enjoy and that pays well, I suppose. And looking at the bigger picture, a good job and a soft, clean bed is certainly nothing to complain about.

I look forward to a summer of friends, parties, days on the beach, and nights under the stars. Let's make that happen - whomever reads this and is willing. There are mountains to hike, river trails to explore, and minds to mouths for talking and learning. There are hands to caress, eyes to kiss, lips to stare into, and bodies to hold (however for myself, those will be reserved for a certain [sadly] yonder someone).

I'm going to enjoy this summer whether it likes it or not. Who's going to join me?
