| Woo-hoo, king-sized bed! |
N64 controller/remote. You can even order games, I think... |
Mini-fridge that stored the OJ I bought from Ralph's. Sadly, after drinking so much juice at UCSD, I couldn't finish the half-gallon I'd bought. |

 |
| Shots from outside the Radisson La Jolla hotel, overlooking some freeway. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Last shot. The fog effect was cool in real life. |
Lunch on Sunday at the Oceanview Terrace Restaurant. Kinda
foggy, so we didn't have a view of the ocean. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| More pics of the other buildings in the area. The desertedness is due to it being a Sunday, but there were a fair number of people eating at the cafeteria (but I didn't snap pics of them). |
Washed out pic of the Applied Physics & Math Building, where the CSE department is currently located. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Another AP&M pic. |
A street sign next to the AP&M parking lot. |
La Jolla Shores Park |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Heh, prospective grads are so organized. Walking in single-file to... |
... beach bbq! |
La Jolla residents enjoying the park and weather |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| All of these are my attempts at capturing the sunset and the
horizon. The Blink is probably not the best equipment to use for this
purpose. |
That little speck is a kite. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| I give up for now... |
Jack, another Berkeley guy visiting, snags my camera and snaps a pic. |
Finally, some success with the sunset. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The next day, Professor Bill Griswold takes Tim, Macneil, and
me on a tour. The first thing we pass is the "Sun God"(?) statue. Being
geeks the conversation turns to putting an 802.11b AP inside. |
The blue fences were supposedly designed to attract monarch butterflies. |
The famous upside-down pyramid-shaped library. We are joined by another prospective student, Jane(?) from CalTech |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Student center, with actual fast food restaurants and stuff. |
Closer to the library. |
To the side of the library is another building of some sort. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Apparently the library was designed so that it couldn't be expanded, but then they expanded it anyway, by digging underground and creating light shafts so students don't have to study under horrible fluorescent lights (wait a sec, isn't that what they do here? :P). |
Tim thinks it's one of the Engineering buildings. Probably
Engineering I? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Light shaft. |
There's a snake here, and also a tree of knowledge somewhere a little farther. Get it? Ha-ha. |
A walk-way connecting sections of the underground library? |
This is the "Silent Tree," an artificial construction that does nothing. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The Silent Tree from afar. |
This is the "Talking Tree." It says weird stuff if you listen carefully, and sometimes even makes jet noises. |
This is the "Singing Tree," which was out of service. |
 |
 |
 |
| Walking back. |
The Art of Espresso. Ha-ha. I love those coffee-related names. Anyway, it's supposed to be so great that the CSE department made sure there'd be one for the new CSE building (which is under construction). |
