Super busy day at work.. seems like the rest of year is going to be even more busy than usual.. I did have one really fun break today. I helped judge at the UVM Computer Science Project Day.. there were about 100 entries this year and they only expected 30.. We saw an amazing range of innovation from first year web site designers to complex mathematical optimization programs. There was one project that used Matlab to create harmonies. Onether that used matlab to recreate a vintage video game.. this guy below did that project .. including the the design of the case, it’s retro guts and the very cool but improbably implementation in Matlab. he’s my new hero !

Our neighbor(ish) Roger was there witht he website he’d co-designed for his wifes business up the street.  it was cool running into him.

these guys were approcimating the mona lisa using the fewest number of polygons.. very cool

in the end, we had to pick our top 3…that was pretty hard after doing 100 1-2 min interviews.. The winners included an IoS app for post tramatic stress tracking, the Matlab video game above , an app for doing sports scouting and a very cool app for lockign your tablet/laptop when you walked away..

As always, i came away inspired and restored from talking to fresh young minds…

now back to my soemwhat stale old mind 🙂

more tomorrow..

nte all, nite sam
