By far the best class I took while getting my Computer Science degree was "Software Engineering Project". We got assigned a project and divided up into teams including CS, CIS, and MIS majors. The MIS people managed and divided up assignments, and the CS people handled different aspects of the programming, like data structures / algorithms / UI / whatever.

This looks like an extremely fun and interesting extension of that. There's CS guys programming, EE guys doing hardware / sensors / haptic panels, full-on Engineering guys doing fluid dynamics, etc.

Destin seems like a great "jack of all trades" type that can get in there and ask really smart questions off the cuff. All the guys geeking out and being impressed with his intuitions and yet hesitant to confirm anything is hilarious to watch.

woah. what was that on the map? "UK", "France" right NEXT to "Europe"? Argh, even educated and intelligent guys like him fall for the US egocentric view of the world, where everything else is just continents instead of countries. And he even got that wrong.


It was also drawn in MS Paint. Count yourself lucky that it wasn't labeled "Pussies and Communists".

Thanks, gwiz!

Ah, another inferior technology made successful by draconian IP law and questionable business practices.

Care to elaborate for the ignorant among us (i.e. me)?


It seems I'm mixing up my stories, actually. The tech I was thinking of was SED, a display technology under development primarily by Canon/Toshiba.

While there was a lawsuit that delayed that, it seems it didn't go on for very long and ultimately Canon killed the product themselves, for reasons unknown.

It's unfortunate because SED was really a combination of all the best features of LCD and CRT combined in one. I had a pretty nice, if aging, CRT when I learned about SED and my original plan was to hold out for SED and skip LCD all together. Eventually my CRT (a 19" Sony Trinitron) got too old and I was forced to buy new. I got a 24" Samsung, one of the best LCDs on the consumer market at the time, and I've never really been happy with it. I still wish there was a better option.
