  • MIT
It’s time for my annual injury update. Today I was hit by a car. I’m okay, although my my right leg hurts. Most importantly, my laptop and cell phone survived. The only casualty was the yogurt in my backpack and the windshield of the Saturn that hit me. Besides being...

  • MIT
I just realized that no one knows what I am doing these days. Before the pumpkin carving post, my last writing was toward the end of last semester. Many months have passed with no updates. Well, let’s fix that. This summer I returned to DLP at Texas Instruments where I...

Senior Ball

  • 6 May 2008
  • MIT
I went, I saw, I left. That pretty much describes my experience at Senior Ball. Basically it was just a bunch of my classmates standing around dancing, drinking, and talking. I can’t believe I paid $30 for that (on top of the $120 tuxedo rental). Perhaps I am an anomaly...

A Spin and a Slide

  • 11 February 2008
  • MIT
I had to pickup food for a BSU meeting so I rented a car from Zipcar. I drove a Cooper MINI and I must say that is a cool car. As its name implies it’s a small car, but what it lacks in physical size it makes up for in...

Superbowl Flight

  • 4 February 2008
I was scheduled to leave Dallas at 8:35; however, someone must have complained to the right people because we didn’t take off until 9:30, after the Superbowl. Speaking of which, the Giants beat the Patriots! The saddest sight I have ever seen is the group of folks boarding my flight...

Guns and Stars

I mentioned in a previous post that there were two parties to celebrate the beginning of the medical camp. There were problems with transportation after the second party. Originally, most of the volunteers had ridden together on the hospital’s bus; however, sometime during the party the bus returned to the...
