- 12:11 At day 2 of SFI meeting on Complex Adaptive Systems Thinking in the Study of History. John Lewis Gaddis is up.
- 12:18 Brilliant talk by Gaddis connecting Tolstoy to George Kennan's Cold War strategy.
- 14:33 Interesting meeting dynamics: a physicist is beating up a historian while 3 or 4 scientists take a snooze around the table.

- 12:09 Beginning a 3-day meeting titled Complex Adaptive Systems Thinking in the Study of History, sponsored by Santa Fe Institute.
- 12:43 David Krakauer is talking about meta-history. I don't understand it yet, but I'm naturally attracted to meta-anything.
- 12:50 Now he's using math equations to talk about the evolution of biological immune systems. Really clears things up for me.
- 13:55 Ok, now Alfred Crosby is talking about the use of psychoactive substances and their impact throughout history.
- 14:27 "The use of drugs is not maladaptive in a species where social solidarity yields great dividends" -- from audience
- 14:39 Interesting, apparently there is a novelty-seeking gene. Stable societies like the Chinese have lower incidence.
- 20:08 David Christian: vodka consumption represented 40% of state revenue in 19th century Russia.
- 20:19 David Christian was the first to teach Big History, which covers large scale histories of the past.
- 20:40 Murray Gell-Mann just gave a general definition of complexity, which was so simple that I'm having trouble recalling it.
- 21:04 Amazing conversation, historians arguing with physicists about complexity.
- 21:14 Murray Gell-Mann just said narrative is the best way to describe quantum mechanics, so I think historians are winning the argument.
- 21:28 Please don't ask me to explain anything Murray says. He is simply much smarter than me.

- 22:25 Heck, at $2/sh *I* could've bought Bear Stearns. Not sure what I'd do with it though. Probably sell it.

- 16:58 Awake (or at least eyes open and walking around) too early. Packing up and getting ready to head home!
- 17:28 Durned hotel Internet went down just as I was trying to Skype call home.
- 18:25 Getting on an airplane, saying good bye to India. Wishing our friend well, hope he isn't too ill.
- 01:46 Refueling stop, nice 3G network here. Roaming probably costing a fortune, though.

- 18:57 Going on a field trip (site visit) outside Hyderabad.
- 19:02 Microsoft's research center is across the street from the National Institute of Fashion Technology. Coincidence?
- 03:34 Back from site visits with SKS and RDI. A bit overwhelmed, need a nap.

- 16:36 Good morning Mumbai! Do you know where your sun is? Up early to catch an early flight out. More pics at pmo.tumblr.com/
- 19:37 Landed in Hyderabad. Uploading more Mumbai photos to pmo.tumblr.com
- 20:07 If Mumbai was like Paris in some ways, Hyderabad is like San Jose. Viewed from a bus, anyway.
- 20:16 Unlike Mumbai, we can see the sun in Hyderabad. Beautiful day.

- 23:44 Just locked myself out of my hotel room. First time ever. Honestly.

- 03:41 Great visit at Indian School of Business. Enaged with very smart people. Weather reminds me of Las Vegas in October.

- 18:39 Good morning, Twitterers, the sun is coming up in Mumbai!
- 18:57 New Seesmic features, fun!
- 19:58 We are here in a Mumbai conference room having a conference call instead of an in-person meeting. Makes the trip worthwhile I suppose.
- 20:49 Posted some low-rez, unedited photos of Dhaka slums at pmo.tumblr.com
- 21:05 Yes, those shots are with the awesome Leica M8. Unprocessed, though. Raw.
- 22:35 Sightseeing in Mumbai. Passed Victoria Station in bus. Too much time in traffic, not enough on streets, no good photos.
- 00:42 Having yummy vegeterian dim sum in Mumbai.
- 04:48 Posted more photos from our visit Monday to Korail slum in Dhaka: pmo.tumblr.com/
