Nolan’s Notes

Finally, for those of you interested, I have some pictures and comments from my last two days at Carnegie Mellon. I think it was a very worthwhile trip, and there are a number of things that I couldn’t have taken pictures of. The people there are truly interesting.

A presentation by the co-author of Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” book that documented all of his thoughts going into the presentation, pretty cool! Almost half the crowd had gone to the actual presentation. For those of you that haven’t seen it, visit this link for the YouTube of it. A nice tradeoff for missing Carnival week.

One Mac iSight camera, one mini-ITX, one Vex robotics kit, and a whole lot of wires and coding later, they finally have a competition robot!
