Returning to Industry

I've decided to accept a position at Google and postpone the Ph.D. for now. We are moving to Mountain View next week. Our new apartment is 1 mile from downtown and 2 miles from the Googleplex. Pictures are available here.

Summer Events - Garden Party, Ball, etc.

I've posted a few pictures of summer events from the last few weeks of Trinity Term at Wadham. These include the Finalists/Graduates Garden Party with the Warden, and the Burlesque Ball.

I've just returned from a great week in Snowdonia with other Wadham College MCR members on the annual reading/hiking retreat. Pictures are here.

Cambridge Exchange Dinner

I just returned after a nice exchange dinner at Christ College Cambridge. We spent the night and had a nice dinner and visit with their MCR. The next morning I stayed later to have lunch with some friends. Pictures are posted here.

End of Coursework

I submitted my final projects and thus the Hilary Term has ended for me, hurray! No more coursework, only a dissertation to write.

Nik and his girlfriend Lisa came up to Oxford for another MCR Guest Dinner. A few pictures have been posted here.

Burns Night

We had haggis, whisky, poetry, and bagpipes in hall to celebrate Burns Night in Wadham. The pictures are here.

Moved to Summertown (Finished)

We've moved from Iffley to Summertown, which is a little closer to the Oxford city centre and a much better place to live for various reasons.

Hilary Term

Hilary term has begun in Oxford so I won't have time to post again until early Spring. My
academic page contains some information about lectures and activities this term.

Moving to Summertown

DeDe and I are back from our 10 day trip to Morocco. The pictures have been posted here. We had a great time. Term starts tomorrow and we are in the middle of moving from Iffley to Summertown in Oxford.
