Syntax and Semantic

I couldn’t blog about what happened in the presentation right after it because I had places to go and things to do on my last day in China but in short it was amazing. I asked my new friend Ari to record it in video for me and he did. As you’ll see I was terrible. I was tattering and I paused for a very long time searching for the word ORDER in my head. The bottom line I have not been worse in a presentation. The explanation is simple; my knees were shacking of fear. I was so nervous and I couldn’t help it.

I am almost done with my tourist visit to China and back to work work work! Before I left for China I got some very bad news, "we didn't get into SRC".

The process of the competition in MobiCom goes as follows, the committee chooses a subset of the qualified posters to compete for the final places then select one of those depending on their presentations to be finalists and give a presentation on the fourth day of MobiCom. Until yesterday our DNIS wasn't selected to compete. Which was a real bummer for us. Yesterday we got an e-mail saying that we got into SRC! Ed3olna :D You can check our names in the SRC Page and the Demos Page . Wait for my future updates on MobiCom!
