MySpace and Me

I have been messing around with MySpace; me and everyone on the planet under age 25 that is. I’ll admit that I haven't quite figured it all out. Since I did notice that most people have at least one photo of themselves where they are holding the camera at arm’s length, I figured I would do the same with a video message.

What are you kids up to now?
Poking around MySpace made me feel old. What are these kids doing? Is everyone online Goth? Can no one get a friend to take their picture? Who are these random people that are asking to be my friend? (Go ahead and ask, I always say yes)

The EEP at NC State

They had a lot of great questions. The most surprising question was "How did a mechanical engineer end up founding a software company?" The funniest thing about the question wasn't that mechanical engineers can't work in software, but rather the implication that mechanical engineers can't start companies.

For all you Mech Eng students out there, rejoice. It can happen. And when you succeed, you can get a cool shirt like the one in this video blog.
