What did Zuri and Stevie Do?
On a recent trip to Japan, when visiting KEIO University SFC (Shonan-Fujisawa Campus), I stopped by in … Fujisawa … and took a stroll around the city. Anyone knows what Stevie and Zuri did to merit this …
A Long Week…
A PhD “midway defense” marks the end of a busy “back-to-school” week — to think that it took me almost 20 years of working in Paris academia before I got a chance to visit LIP6 the UPMC campus. Next up…

Roppongi: “Pillboxes, Club Smile-Smile-Smile, and Addict?”
This summer, I had an all-too-brief business trip to Japan — which I love. During part of the trip, alas, I was staying in Roppongi — which, since I am well past the age of frivolous all-night-clubbing, I enjoy somewhat…

Time Travel?
Got this in the mail this morning (June 1, 2018) – should I infer that the IEEE subtly is trying to tell me that I missed the IEEE Proceedings Special Issue on Time Travel….?
Finally it’s Friday: Only in Japan …
This is unequivocally an “only in Japan” situation, and part of why I love visiting that beautiful and interesting country… See how this bike, which was outside a major train station (Shinagawa Station), is “locked” only by a small brown…

UUCP Bang Paths Live!
We’re doing pretty much everything electronically at Ecole Polytechnique these days, having over the past couple of years introduced electronic signatures on traditional paperworks (Convention de Stages, for example …) But, the other day, I actually got a physical letter, addressed…

Finally it’s Friday: And here I was, thinking that OLSR was a routing protocol…
OLSR. Who knew it was not “Optimized Link-Stare Routing” but “Optical Liquid Silicone Rubber”?

Finally It’s Friday: We also didn’t change the plot …
My last trip last year had me fly with SAS from Narita to Copenhagen…apparently not modifying a film for in-flight viewing is exceptional enough to require a warning? 😉

Finally it’s Friday: Zen at Cisco…
A bit before the holidays, on my last visit to Cisco France at Issy-les-Moulinaux, I came across a door labeled “Zen Room”, at the fourth floor – and, of course, I bust in to see what that was all about….

Finally It’s Friday:
A couple of weeks back, when I was in Tokyo for work, Apple Maps thought to notify me that they now supported “transport directions in Japan”. So, I decided to give Apple Maps a try when navigating to my hotel…

Finally it’s Friday: Is LinkedIn’s Auto-Tag Feature on Drugs?
Whatever AI LinkedIn uses for automatically associating “tags” to “posts” or “shares” is often impressively accurate (then again, I would guess that most of the “tags” really are just keywords extracted from the post/share, although these examples below most definitely are…

Finally it’s Friday: Over-Eager IT? SAS really needs to include seconds in their departure times ;)
Last Friday, I was flying with everybody’s favorite Scandinavian Airline – from Paris to Copenhagen. Waiting in the airport for my flight I got both a push notification and an SMS, announcing that my departure would be delayed…and announcing the…

(Audio required for the full throwback to the 80’es effect) Only problem, of course, is that I ran out of red LEDs …
Finally it’s Friday: which way is it??
Quick routing question to all y’all…when you stand in front of a panel like this (and want to get to “the pavilions”), do you continue straight ahead against the direction of the arrow, or do you turn around and follow…
