but he was so nice and we just talked about random stuff about MIT and Toronto. I just remember feeling like he was a warm, kind soul that could get along with anyone. RIP.

kind of embarrassing, but I didn't know anything about him. but they sent me an email the day of telling me where to go and linking to his wikipedia page -- I remember clicking the link and being so intimidated because he is a legend!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_C...

-oh wait, the bottle rack has is already full, let me store away whatever is dry
- ok some of this should probably be sterilized so I should put it in the dishwasher

I'm downloading ipad os 26 first since the window management is really the killer new feature
