Yes, it is true. The singularity occured yesterday for me, and I now
completely living in the future.
Some image evidence from the disputation:

(Before. Nothing will distract me from my powerpoint presentation.
Nothing.)

(I finally get control over the tech infrastructure of the lecture hall
- oh, the power!)

(And finally - success!)
BTW, I was thinking of mailing this list about the event, but then I
thought I should make a little experiment and see how long it took for
the information to arrive on its own. The answer from the date field in
Jay's post seems to be that it arrived one hour before the
announcement. Those little birds certainly cross the atlantic fast!
(seriously, even taking the timezones into account it was speedy - four
hours. Thanks Jay, for posting!)
