Starbucksing across the UK
So I'm sitting downstairs in a Starbucks in Cambridge on the world's most expensive internet access (I exagurate but at £5.50 an hour it sure feels like it).
Why am I not wandering the hallowed halls of this fine University town. Two reasons. The first is that it is raining - and I have no tolerance for that, nor an umbrella. The second I need not face due to the first but I really feel that clumping around looking at old buildings, no matter how interesting, is crap. I hope to visit Cambridge properly in an academic capacity soon enough.
I came up here for the day to visit a friend that is working at Microsoft research (but is at EECS at Harvard normally). We had a good chat and I've got a lot of reading to do on Game Theory but I think that I have a fun game to model at the end of it so it should be worth it. The Game is 2nd Order Sanctioning reputation - or Reputation and Influence. I hope to prove that Reputation is not a public good, but rather than providing reputation reports is both personally beneficial and, also, that providing them truthfully is the most beneficial of all ;)
We'll see.
