Back to the Moon?
Forty years after Apollo, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wanted to run a brief pro/con on "Should we go back to the Moon?" They called Georgia Tech. I volunteered to do "No," and Dr. Loewy from our School of Aerospace Engineering volunteered for "Yes." The catch: a tight limit of 150 words. That's hard. [Read more...]

ATDC Open Forum Follow-up
We had two incredible open forum sessions yesterday to discuss the future of ATDC. The Hodges Room was pretty much filled both times, so I suspect nearly 200 people took the time to come down and share their ideas with us. [Read more...]

Knudsen numbers
One of the reasons Bud Peterson rocks as the new president of Georgia Tech:
When walking him down to the lobby after our all-employee meeting yesterday, we ran into Ken Stewart (Commissioner of Economic Development), and had a brief but useful conversation. I mentioned how great it was to have so many related functions in the Centergy building, because we get to have casual serendipitous interactions with so many different members of the technology community.
Dr. Peterson treated us to a clear and concise 30-second lecture on Knudsen numbers and the concept of mean free path.
Yep, he's the big boss, and a talented administrator... but he's also still a helluva engineer!

This is different.

Augmented Reality at Georgia Tech
Interesting article on Augmented Reality research at Georgia Tech here. One of the linked videos demonstrates a Virtual Pet application on a current generation iPhone. The iPhone overlays an animated image of a dog on realtime video input from the iPhone's camera. The result is a pet that appears to reside in the real world in front of you.
One of the reasons I love what I do... getting to hang out with cool guys like Blair McIntyre!
