Some changes at work
Two interns will be leaving this week, both from Northeastern. They have a summer quarter they must get back for, but both have been working since January. One of them, Ian, is working directly in our group, and I’ll be taking over his project. Really, he has done the vast majority of it and done a great job. There are always a few different things going on too. We also got a new intern from Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo. We had orientation on Monday and a few schools in particular stuck out as being well represented. It wasn’t as useful for me because I had done the paperwork last week; but I did spot some classmates from Stanford.
Nader has been stockpiling the wares of students moving out of his dorm who are probably too well off for their own good. Nader picked up a pair of computer speakers, a monitor, a whole computer, two microwaves, a blender, and yes, a car. He showed me the title. Sheesh. He then called me later to say that he had an executive-style leather office chair. Looks brand new. He didn’t want it cause it had arm rests. Yeah. He’s weird. But I got it from him! We also grabbed a microwave for Simon’s new place. Then found a photo printer in the hallway. Abandoned.
Great news! Melih, a friend of mine who just finished a Master’s in Computer Science at NC State, just took a full-time position at video startup Tokbox and is moving out to San Francisco! He’ll be arriving later this week. Mary and Matt are almost to Cincinatti for Race Across America, and the rest of my family is enjoying some vacation too.

It’s true, Saket’s too popular for his own good.
By the way, our little vacation was awesome and I really, really, really wished you could have been with us. Even if I meant I had to drag you into the airplane myself and then push you out :). Take care!
