Conversations

So I had lunch today with other Princetonians in Columbia grad school.  And the quirkiness of our conversations just had to be shared. Today at lunch we discussed, among other things:
  • A play in NYC that it's a 6-story former hotel.  It's interactive, and you traverse all 6 stories along with the actors as the play progresses.
  • A restaurant in France where you're completely in the dark, and the waiters are blindfolded, and you have to feel around and use your other senses while you eat.  You can also order a "surprise" dish if you want.
  • Some research at Columbia where they're trying to get people to be able to move objects just using their brain.
Such interesting topics!

Computers

Two things you should not be doing if you're using a computer in an open office environment:
  • Using a mouse without a mousepad
  • Using a laptop without a mouse (using the clickpad)
Both of these are noisy and extremely annoying when trying to concentrate.  You're in your 20s, people, learn some professional decorum.
