Busy day at work, I did sneak some time down at Nordic (Earthkeep farm common) to try the first edge lighting of the clouds for Fluffy.. the burning man bus.
This is the first time we saw whether putting the LED strips on their side would work … and be bright enough and even enough to use. We were pretty happy with the result !
I was down in Cambridge to give a talk to the MIT-IBM Lab interns.. it’s something I enjoy doing because I get to meet them all and see what they did with their internship. I’m always impressed
As I was preparing for my talk I realized that today was my 41st service anniversary for IBM . Even though I’m working for IBM just one day a week still.. i still think of it as my ‘work family’ .. I remember the day in aug 3, 1981 walking into the IBM building..
I remember having to wear a sweater !.. and I remember getting to shoot a fire extinguisher at a chair as apart of a safety orientation..
Another thought,.. between me, diane and diane’s late father.. my wonderful father-in-law gabe.. we now have 85 years of IBM history in the family
I worked that into my talk… which was fun
I loved hanging our and seeing my ibm and mit friends…
This afternoon DIane and I drove down to Cambridge for a talk i’m giving tomorrow. It was a nice drive.. and a nice night for the two of us to walk around my old haunts. The city was pretty at night ! (so is Diane !!!)
I placed another samstone at the site of my old dorm room in Bexeley (which is now a park !)
`
MIT is always an interesting place to visit :-)\
We ate at the sushi place near my old office.. it was quite good !
