I just got back from the Oregon State vs. USC football game at Reser Stadium. OSU beat the No. 1-ranked Trojans 27-21!

Here are a couple of pictures from the game and aftermath (when the students rushed the field). I couldn’t resist the chance, so I waited for the madness to calm down a bit, and then joined them!  I apologize for the quality of the photos, as I took them with my iPhone in a large raucous crowd.

More photos after the break.

While attending TA training yesterday, I got to see the results of a really cool project that a couple of sophomore undergrads in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) worked on over the summer.  I’ve embedded a YouTube clip of the project below:

I was surprised that after only a year of classes and some mentoring, the students were able to put together something this complex. The key is the TekBots system that Oregon State has developed, which provides hands-on application of classroom knowledge in the labs. It would have been great to have something this hands-on when I was an undergrad.

Hello and welcome!  I finally decided to get with the rest of the world and start up my own blog (just in time for Web 3.0 or whatever comes next).

I’ve also added the a new version of Gallery to the site (although the photos are hopelessly out-of-date).
