Bausch and Lomb

Today was the field-trip to Bausch and Lomb! We left around 9:30 and rode there in a nice bus thing. When we got there they had to wear gowns and goggles and earplugs and hair-nets and they made us wash our hands. Once we were all prepped and looked like something out of Willie Wonka they took us through the lab where the contacts were made. There were a bunch of machines on an assembly type of system and they were all enclosed in barriers to protect the contacts from contamination. Oh and hen the guy was describing some things about the eye i actually understood it because we learned it in boot camp!! 

We stopped in several other labs and the people showed us some other things, I don't really remember what they were tho. On our way back Joe and Bob treated us all to lunch at Amiel's. It was delicious by the way!!

Once back in the lab I prolonged coded as much as possible. Instead I digitized two more tapes and checked another transcription.  Then I loaded the videos to Tweedledum and organized the other videos for the experiment on there.  Ironically once I decided to start coding, I set up the video and everything, so when I was about to start Jeff and Andy asked for help with the t.v. So I went out into the hall and got thoroughly distracted with it's pretty display and resolution of the video. We attempted to watch the trailer for the Dark Knight but the audio wasn't working so we watched it in silence. The video still had an awesome quality. We also watched the video of Jane and Nick in the car but it didn't have a calibration yet so we couldn't see what she was actually looking at. We watched it anyways and laughed at Nick's awesome hand gestures.
