Día de los Muertos in Mexico


IMG_3728

I didn’t plan for it to work out this way, but a business visit to Querétaro, Mexico coincided with Día de los Muertos. A colleague and I took a walk through the downtown plazas, which were an amazing blend of sights, tastes, and aromas. It was a tremendous amount of fun. I took quite a few pictures; you can find the Flickr set here.

Canonical, adj.: The usual or standard state or manner of something. A true story: One Bob Sjoberg, new at the MIT AI Lab, expressed some annoyance at the use of jargon. Over his loud objections, we made a point of using jargon as much as possible in his presence, and eventually it began to sink in. Finally, in one conversation, he used the word "canonical" in jargon-like fashion without thinking. Steele: "Aha! We've finally got you talking jargon too!" Stallman: "What did he say?" Steele: "He just used `canonical' in the canonical way."
