Been an interesting year. In the last year or so I've been working on a new type of neural network / self-learning matrix that is capable of some truly amazing feats in small doses. On a recent trip back up to Pittsburgh I acquired 100 hours on NSF computers to run experiments thanks to my friend Kevin Lenzo that I used to work with at Cepstral doing the Speech Synthesis thing: [link]

Also, my wife and I split up in the last year, it's been very odd, since she and I are still trying to remain good friends. Anyone who disses her will face the wrath of mandrake.

I am also currently looking for a real job in any location around the country - hard core technical guru seeks job that will allow ample free time to work on side project of dominating the universe.
