Contrary to how Christine makes it sound, I'm not just sitting around and drinking cappuccinos all day. The reason we are in San Francisco is that I have a summer internship at Dolby Labs.
I am working on Axon- Dolby's voice chat system. There is lots of software that lets you do voice chat over the internet, but Axon uses surround sound to make it sound like you are in the same room with the person you are chatting with. This is mostly for games, to make the other player's voices match the game world.
And after a bit of a wait, here are some pictures of San Francisco. This first is taken from the Land's End trail that Christine talked about. The Golden Gate bridge is about 2.5 miles away.
This one is from a park on Potrero Hill. In the distance is the Bay Bridge.
