Berkeley, Wednesday March 18, 2020 2:11 AM The clock is ticking or overdue at this time, which I should be in bed by now. Yesterday, and other days, when I had to finish a product I might have skipped. I call products to deliverables either an assignment report or whatever that needs to be done. […]

Light of the living landscape and biota

Berkeley, Monday, March 16, 2020 3:50 AM I assume the internet is sleepy at this time, which makes sense, not because its speed but because of the time. Anyways, yesterday I briefly mentioned that Berkeley offers plenty of treasures. Today, there was such a wonderful gift. The best rainbow I ever seen. While I agree […]

It rained!

Berkeley, Sunday, March 15, 2020 1:15 AM So happy that it finally rained today! It has been a very dry year so far. While I will not go into the statistics now, as those are normally simple essays on the fly, which might open the curiosity of the audience to read further. So that was […]

Berkeley, Sunday, March 8, 2020 7:42 PM I wrote yesterday a stupid joke about artificial intelligence, but actually artificial intelligence is great. The most simple example that comes to my mind is to code a chart where we just plug in the data, and then we get the chart without having to code the production […]

Time check of the day

Berkeley, Saturday, March 7, 2020 1:23 AM I am deeply grateful for having received crystal clear instructions today from an excellent professor K.C. about, perhaps, most basic concepts for a geomorphologist, but so key for directing my research. With a couple of charts in a white board it became clear to me difference between denudation […]
