It has been a while, I know, but between classes, SIGCOMM submission, reviews and whatnot it has been hard to make just a bit of time for this. I am still reviewing, but the quarter is over and so the dust is starting to settle down a bit.
In any case, what's interesting to post? First thing first - Tomorrow BARBARA LISKOV will be given the Dean Seminar at Northwestern and, after that, we will walk down the street to have dinner with the University President and other guests including Stephen Colbert, Jessye Norman and Prof. William Schabas!
Liskov, Colbert, Norman and Schabas will receive honorary degrees from Northwestern on Friday. There is probably little original I can say about Prof. Liskov, but you can read a beautiful tribute to her written by Guttag almost 10 years ago. She is one of the most admired researchers in our field and a true inspiration for all. It will be a real honor to introduce her and present her for her degree on Friday.
