Friday started out like any other; going to lab, class at 2 (which I am getting my butt kicked in, but am not dropping because I am stubborn). But, then it took a turn. I won’t say that this is a typical day, but it involved a lot of typical MIT events, just all concentrated into about two hours.

So, after class, I was walking around and I saw my friend Ted (also an EECS blogger) hanging out with a bunch of people. Apparently he was doing this dancing thing that he is always talking about so much. It was pretty impressive – Ted was doing all sorts of jumping and slapping his feet – pretty sweet.

Anyways, I was walking back to lab and was getting some lunch in the student center when I ran into Tron Guy… just hanging out in the student center… Apparently he was here for ROFLcon. (ROFLcon was a convention about how the internet is changing what fame means… I guess. It got a bunch of internet “celebrities” to come and talk in person)

Walking back from the student center and knowing that ROFLcon was going on, I had to choose between my original plan of going to see Senator Jeff Bingaman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources talk about America’s energy furture or going to a panel entitled “LOLCATS: I CAN HAZ CASE STUDY?”

I ended up going to the Energy one…
