MIT news
Some belated MIT-related items that I've been meaning to blog:
John Maeda will be RISD's new president. Catch John's video at risd.edu in which he talks about his approach and vision. Congratulations and best wishes to John.
Walter Lewin, my first college physics professor, made the NYT. The article does a decent job of describing his wackily entertaining approach to teaching, including the "nerd safari garb" bit. Lewin was a big reason for not skipping 8.01 lectures in my freshman year.
Course 6 will no longer offer 6.170. If that made no sense, it means that the MIT EECS department has eliminated its long-running Laboratory in Software Engineering class. It was one of my favorites as a Course 6 major. I do wish that I had participated more substantially in the final project, rather than just doing the meager visuals. Still, good times.
