MSP Humphrey terminal: A modern ghost town
The Hubert H. Humphrey terminal at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport was eerily empty and quiet today.

A little wind-swept
On Friday after the EvoStar/EuroGP events wrapped up, Bill (Langdon), Riccardo (Poli), Tyler (Hutchison), and I spent a couple of hours being tourists in Naples, starting at Castel dell’Ovo ("Egg Castle"). This castle sits on a little island just off the shore right in front of our hotel and the conference center, so we saw [...]

UMM students are just so cool!
As mentioned earlier, our paper “Semantic building blocks in genetic programming” with Brian Ohs (UMM ’08) and Tyler Hutchison (UMM ’07) was nominated for Best Paper at EuroGP 2008 in Naples, Italy. We won! That a paper co-authored with two undergraduates from a small, public, undergraduate liberal arts institution like the University of Minnesota, Morris, [...]

A heck of a party!
Last night’s unveiling of A Field Guide to Genetic Programming was a huge success! We had one of the poster “stalls” with 50 copies of the book that we’d purchased from Lulu as our initial “print run”. We were wearing cool t-shirts sporting that wonderful cover, had the nice poster shown to the right, and [...]

For those of you coming to Naples, definitely stop by our table at the poster session that night — you’ll be able [...]

Nothing like a little shameless self-promotion
I’ve been sitting on this for a while I waited for EuroGP to get their web site updated; they have, freeing me up to do a little unabashed chest-thumping, leavened with some praise for UMM‘s excellent students. A few weeks from now the Eleventh European conference on Genetic Programming (EuroGP) will happen in Naples Italy. [...]

Man, that’s gonna stink (and probably while I’m there)
This is what Naples has become through a combination of mismanagement and a complete lack of any sort of recycling system. (Apparently GreenPeace came in and set up a demonstration recycling system in one neighborhood had showed that over 70% of the trash there could be recycled if people would just get it together.) And [...]
This is really why I teach
