Sitting to my left in the first photo is Antony Williams, of ChemSPIDER
fame. In the second photo Victoria Stoddard is talking to Chris Patil. To the
left I see the white hair of Peter Norvig.

Obviously we need cameras with more megapixels, so we could read
nametags.

Jim,

We did a cost-benefits analysis and settled on a maximum of two clones per SciFoo camper. If the one we eliminated was the only one with viable neural tissue, we accept no responsibility.

Also, Garrett Lisi wears his bald head with apparent pride. Perhaps you should focus on the advantages – such as improved aerodynamics.

And your blog posts are the most “press” I’ve received in one place since my mom’s scrapbook, so keep it up!

Ha, that’s great, but I want my third clone back, please. He’s the smart one.

Also, I noticed a guy next to me with a Boston Red Sox hat on. One thing I forgot to mention throughout was that I was always wearing a ball cap. Not always my Indians hat, but always had a cap on to cover my bald spot.

I never saw anyone else wearing a baseball cap. Maybe that’s a California thing?

Great picture. I hope you don’t mind me sharing it on my blog..
