December will be a busy month. From December 10-14 I’ll be in San Diego, CA giving a demonstration at the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2006). I’ll be presenting a new interface for image retrieval. I’m looking forward to visiting San Diego for the first time. If I have time I plan to visit the San Diego Zoo. Since I was very young I wanted to go to Legoland and there is a park in Carlsbad, CA, about 30 miles north of San Diego. If I find there’s things for adults to do there I may visit as well.

Then, from December 20-25 I’ll be in Montreal to see family and friends. I’ll also get to see snow for the first time in over a decade!
