I'm in Seattle this week for ASPLOS and VEE. My hotel room has a balcony with a view:
Yesterday I did the touristy thing and visited the space needle, science fiction museum and other nearby attractions. The best part of the day was the awesome Seattle Duck Ride. Unfortunately, my camera's batteries decided enough is enough just as we boarded the duck, so you get a picture of the space needle instead.
The plan for today is to get some work done, visit the Seattle Aquarium and otherwise have fun. ASPLOS begins tonight! For the curious, our ASPLOS paper is now online.
