Final Presentations - Done!

Congratulations to our Fall 2008 class! Yesterday were final presentations, and the teams presented to about 40 guests in the audience, including our own Don Marinelli. Great jobs, all the way around.

Tea & Sugar Train Team


Team Hatch

A Visit from CMU President Cohen

During his visit to the West Coast, CMU President Jared Cohen dropped by EA and spent some time with our teams.

First stop was Team Hatch, where he protected the north pole from aquian invaders.

Then, on to a tour of the Tea & Sugar Train, where he got an earful about the life of a butcher straight from the source.

More importantly, we all appreciated his interest in the students themselves. He met them all individually and learned about their roles on the projects and their backgrounds before coming to the ETC.

And check out the the T&S Train team - all wearing their CMU colors. Smart in many dimensions.

The Eye of Sauron in action

Or its marketing name, Generic Evil Sorcerer King Burning Eyeball.



It's terrifying, and it really works! No mocking-up or fakery in this video, it's all done with camera vision. Movie magic (read: camera angles) prevents you from seeing the camera we used to watch the user, but it's all for real! Why not buy an Eye of Sauron to top your Christmas tree this year?

I can think of several reasons why not! Principally: weight!
