It may be a sign! "In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom." This is probably something that the younger guys here may have difficulty relating to. Maybe I'll be able finally make the sacrifice.

And apparently I was accepted, and it let me RSVP. Please let this be real and don't take it away.
- arunpn123 13y agoApplied on a whim and got in. But being a student, the cost of travel from Atlanta is making me think twice.
- ridicter 13y agoDriving in from Portland, Oregon, and staying at a friend's place a few blocks from UC-Berkeley. Send me a message if interested. @jahnreektor on twitter! BTW, if any folks from Vancouver or Seattle wanna carpool/caravan together, I'm totally game! I've actually never been to the bay area, so I'd love to visit the Gold Gate Bridge or the headquarters of the big companies: Facebook, Google, Apple, etc.
- zachlatta 13y agoComing from LA. Super excited to see the area!
- sbuccini 13y agoHello all, A group of students from UC Berkeley are looking to attend, but public transit is horrendous when it comes to getting to Cupertino. If your company (or you as an individual) would be interested in making a tax-deductible donation to allow us to get a bus, please let me know! My information is in my profile. Cheers.
