I&#8217;m not too interested in controlled release myself, but I came here for the location and the people. We got in last night a little past 10 after a slightly delayed flight, then we took a shuttle to our hotel before wandering around the waterfront for several hours, returning at around 2:00am. The night was nice and mild; this also means that there were many homeless people out and about or sleeping. We weren&#8217;t harassed too much though. Despite our wanderings, we didn&#8217;t find the beach (we happened to head the wrong way along the shore; my fault), so along with checking into the conference, I think we will try to find the beach today.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel we are staying at doesn&#8217;t have any wireless, so this morning I went to the local Radio Shack and picked up a MIMO Wireless-G router. I&#8217;ve been without an extra router for a while, so I think it was a worthwhile purchase even without the current need. Plus now I can blog from anywhere in the hotel complex, and everyone around has access too, since I don&#8217;t implement WEP or WPA.<\/p>\n<p>Now its time to shower after my morning job to Radio Shack and then head to the convention center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of my CREE Traineeship, I am in Long Beach, California, for the 34th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the Controlled Release Society.
