    Oguerekhian Addeh projects.vrac.iastate.edu /REU2015/ OMG. LAST DAY, OMG. (and pictures, of course) Posted on August 3, 2015 by oaddeh That’s a slightly more exaggerated recounting of how I felt on Friday. How did two and a half months go by? Did someone push me into a time machine while I wasn’t looking? I think I understand how Squidward feels now. But, speaking of the future, I feel like this program has set me in a good place as I continue into mine. No matter how much I think I know about grad school, I learned even more here. I now have a better idea about what qualities to seek while looking for HCI programs. I love how interdisciplinary and applicable HCI can be. This summer has even helped me clear up what I want to study, at least for this upcoming year (honors thesis, yeah!). I’m actually excited to start a literature review and think of creative testing methodologies. In other words, I side with Alex in that this has been one of the best summers ever. I loved how everyone had a different personality, but that we got along so well. (Props to Sarah for dealing with all of our spongebob quotes this summer although she secretly hates anthropomorphic sea-sponges. She took more One last spongebob reference for the road than one for the team; she took 20.) I love how we all supported each other. I would say that I’ll try to stay in touch, but I won’t. These last few days exercising have taught me some differences between try and do.

Today its amazing to even think of a needle in the groove system as having any future! Each month RCA would issue a brochure listing the movies coming out on disc for that month. I saved these brochures and have quite a few of them. At that time laserdisc was promising a lot of titles but very slow to deliver. RCA was gaining a good reputation because when they said a title would be available during a specific month it would almost always appear on the dealers shelf.
