Boot Camp Day 2

When we went to the staff meeting today, Joe and Bob took us on a tour of the Remote Sensing lab (i think that was what it was). The guy there showed us a cool camera that could be used to detect gas leaks. He even did a demonstration by releasing some gas and showing us what it looked like through the camera.

So yes today was day 2 of Boot Camp. We got through the remaining 400 something slides...not joking either. There were literally 400 slides to the presentation and it took awhile to get through especially since Jeff and Andy kept getting off on tangents on almost every slide. But anyways it was still interesting just a lot of info. There's not much more to say about that except that Nick was kind enough to order us all pizza-which was delicious by the way!

After lunch we all sat around and had some pretty cool discussions. We bounced around from topic to topic with everyone asking questions and Jeff and Andy explaining things. I thought this was more fun and easier to pay attention to rather than a lecture or something.

Hmm after the discussion thing Jane, Aj, and I got out the mobile eye tracking device and recorded each of us walking around and looking at the cube in the hallway. Tomorrow we will calibrate, digitize, and code our own sections of the tape. That should be fun since it's ourselfs and it should also be good practice.

We really didn't do much else today since most of the time was spent in the boot camp.
