QIP in Boston
Stata Center, MIT Last week I attended QIP 2005, a conference on quantum information processing, held this year at MIT. Although most of our time was spent learning interesting (ahem) stuff at the conference, we did get to do a wee bit o’ sight-seeing. Pictures are now available. The first few photos (including the one at left) are of the Stata Center, designed by Canadian architect Frank Gehry. 
Boston City Hall Other Gehry buildings that I’ve visited include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Nationale Nederlanden Building in Prague. Also in Boston we saw Boston City Hall, at right, which bears a remarkable resemblance to a certain math and computer building here at the University of Waterloo in which I am sitting right now.

Wired on Perimeter
Wired Magazine is running an article on the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, which is an institute in Waterloo that does research in, among other things, quantum cryptography, my subject area. While the article isn’t particularly in depth, it is nice to see Perimeter getting some major press; normally I just think of it as the place that I go for class two days a week.
