Nolan’s Notes

Well, let’s try this. Here’s Day 4’s set, coming right at you from Flickr. Enjoy!

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!

My older brother forwarded me this video about the changing world of college admissions, from the view of the admissions staff themselves. They make some good points, but the scrolling bottom bar also has some good information too. Do you agree with what they mention? Let me know in the comments.

Woo, I’m in my hotel and getting ready for bed. Here are a few pictures. I apoligize in advance for the quality of the darker ones, this cheap camera really only works in the daytime. Enjoy!
