End-of-the-Quarter Insanity

Comic Life is pretty cool.
I’ve been doing most of my work over in the Allen Center lately, since it’s a nice place to study that’s relatively free of distractions (especially on weekends and after the building closes.) Last night, as I was coding away in the empty Atrium, my Data Structures professor remarked that the Atrium has practically become my private office lately. I’ve been there more than I’ve been in my room these past few days.
Once again, the EE lab was postponed due to the fact that the instructions haven’t been posted on the web site yet, so we couldn’t really do the lab. Everyone else in the class spent the time working on finishing up the report from the previous lab, but my partner and I were already finished. Yay for being ahead of schedule. So, we played around with my new computer for a while. There’s a neat application that comes with the new Macs called Comic Life. It lets you capture images from the iSight camera and put speech bubbles, text, and graphics on top of them to make comic strips. The graphic at the top right is my lab partner, Quoc. (The text says “Where is the lab?”) I wasn’t all that excited about some of the bundled applications like Photo Booth and Comic Life, but they’ve turned out to be a lot of fun.
I’ve gotten a lot of comments on my MacBook. I’ve had a few people tell me they’re waiting for theirs to be delivered, a few people asking questions about software compatibility (which for the most part has been very good) and a few that just wanted to plug in the MagSafe connector.
