multimedia day

First, check out the pictures from my gingbread village building efforts in the Powerpoint Show (click back when you're done if it opens in browser). For those who didn't follow, i was the stereotypical asian guy (i was compared to the one in goonies often) doing the engineering and electronics of getting things hung in the air, making things move, and turning everything into gingerbread. All the decorating and what not i left to the other more capable people which is why it looks decent. We, of course won the $75 prize for most creative, so free lunch tomorrow. it was neat though since every unit participated in the contest, and actually we didn't win best, although that was because they couldn't give us both first prizes.

and i heard this amusing report on Marketplace on NPR and for some reason thought this was a segment Jed could've and should've produced. If you have 5-10 minutes, listen to it here. (sorry, just realized you need that crappy real audio to listen)
