Man, I've been slacking. Sorry...I've actually been pretty busy...it's nice...
So James and I started development on an iPhone app. It's pretty cool stuff. I'll get to learn how to code apps for the iPhone and hopefully have a kickass app for my portfolio. I found an e-book online (for free) that gets you started on coding. It'll take me a little while to make the transition, but I'll get there. I'm used to coding websites in XTML, CSS, and Javascript. That's actually what the first round of prototypes are going to be made in. Since James and I are both very farmiliar with web coding, we can put together ideas really quickly. I'd love to show you what we're working on, but I'm affraid I can't here. If you really want to see, e-mail me or see me in person and we can talk about it...
So, that's pretty much what we've been working on all week. Also, we ditched the cubicles pretty much all week and went down to the "Dungeon" or "Lair" as we call are calling it...It's a lot easier to collaborate and get stuff done down there. Plus, we can listen to music and be ourselves...
Took a tour with some other interns of some of the factories here on campus. It was pretty awesome. We got to see their rapid prototyping labs, as well as their testing labs. Here, they make mockups or change current designs, then test them in different areas. They have a kickass sound proof room. When you walk in and they close the door, it's completely silent and you actually feel off balance. Your ears are mostly responsible for your balance, and since there is virtually no pressure coming from outside sources, your body doesn't know what to do.
Anyway, they have all kinds of sweet machines that test altitude, temperature, humidity, sound, vibrations, gravity, dropping force, etc. So, we got to see how all that works behind the scenes.
I tried to snap a few photos wihtout getting caught. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to or not, but did anyway...
Went to lunch at BJ's again (by myself...I know, but I'm cool with it). Like I said before...it's ta die foruh!
Had an Intern Scavenger Hunt on Friday. It was ok. Got to get out of the cubicle for a few hours. Most of the interns are either engineers or marketing or something like that. And, most of them are SUPER nerdy...So, we don't really have much in common. They're also pretty socially awkward, but I try to converse anyway...Oh yeah, we also got free food, so, that's a plus...
We did a lot of running around the campus, but we got to see some parts of the compound we probably wouldn't have seen anyway, so that was cool.
Go RED TEAM! (We lost...like last place lost...oh well...)Like seriously though, some of these kids are so hard-core about some of this stuff...it's not even funny...
They're always out of the peanut M&M's :( I guess it's a good thing, because that's really all I want out of there anyway...
