I know I said I’d put up five more gift suggestions this week, and I was going to describe my top five charitable gift opportunities, but I haven’t had time to compile a list. Work has been crazy — between editing a video and building a database, I’ve hardly had time to eat.
But I’m not complaining, because I like my job and my boss rocks. He’s the one who’s sending me to MIT in January for the 4th International TEI Conference on tangible, embedded and embodied interaction — HCI, design, interactive art, user experience — how computing can “bridge atoms and bits into cohesive interactive systems.”
I’m already so excited to be going that I’ve been fantasizing about being a grad student (again), working on research and writing all day in a crappy Boston apartment (again). Though this time around no one is offering me a fellowship — yet.
And it doesn’t help that the MIT Museum is so incredible. If only I were twenty and didn’t have a mortgage. If only I didn’t like my job and were willing to drop it all and move out of this lovely state of Vermont. Am I? Probably not, so this video will have to do. For now.
