Ah, wonderful east-coastish summer weather! Seriously, you can expect it to be hot and muggy all day until the afternoon/evening thunderstorm makes it hot and wet instead. After each storm it stays cool and muggy for about 15 minutes. :-) An ex-east-coaster, -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Lawrence Berkeley Lab CSE/EE (+1 415 486 5427) Berkeley, CA Domain: torek@ee.lbl.gov

Today's tutorials in the ballroom, and the lunch areas were *really* cold. Hopefully it will be warmer the rest of the week, but bring a sweatshirt anyway.

Yeah, that's for sure. Also, the housekeeping people have this interesting habit of turning the a/c to 50 degrees when they make up the bed. The logic seems to be that since it's 90 outside, making it 50 inside gives you an average temp of 70...

This is funny. People in the same city at the same conference using a worldwide network to talk about the temperature in the meeting rooms. It's hot and humid in DC.... :-)
