Day 25

Today was a very busy day for me and I got a lot accomplished. As of Friday I couldn't test people because my experiment had an XML document error which wouldn't let me load the experiment. So this morning I worked with Jeff and Dong on the SMI trying to figure out why exactly the error is showing up. We came to the conclusion that the avi files may have only worked for macs so I had to convert all of the video clips to wmv files. While waiting for everything to load, I worked a lot on my powerpoint presentation for next Friday and started looking for extra data clips I can add to it. Hopefully everything will be going well when I start testing people on the SMI in the morning...fingers crossed!

Day 24

Today was a good day! I started working on my presentation a lot this morning! Tomorrow I can finally start testing the other interns on the SMI so i can start analyzing some data. During our lunch break a couple of the interns went and took funny pictures on the mac.

Day 23

Today, I worked in the intern challenge a little bit and then started working on my powerpoint presentation that I have to give in about two weeks. I have been waiting all week to start using the SMI so I can start eye tracking people for my presentation but it has been booked all week. Hopefully I can get everyone in by the beginning of next week. Then in the afternoon I helped the insight lab cut felt for their project.

Day 22

This morning I did a little more work on my experiment and continued reading chapter 4 out of the book before todays meeting. Mostly, it was just an exhausting day since we got home late last night and I still woke up early. Tomorrow, I plan on working on the intern challenge.

Day 21

Today I tested a few of the interns on the SMI which went pretty well. Then at night all of the interns went to Sticky Lips BBQ and had a great time there. We had the best table which included Christina, Jarek, Maddie, Cassie, and Nick. We then went to the Mees Observatory to look at stars and planets. We all had a great time together!!

Day 19 & 20

On Thursday and Friday we continued to work on the intern challenge by making a music video. I worked with Henry, Jarek, and David on making the video. We went all around campus taking some random clips of us dancing and singing. We ended up getting a lot of points for our video so Henry and I are still in first place. Here is our video enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRveZ8KgeNc&feature=plcp

Day 18

Today I worked on creating the design of my experiment that I will hopefully start testing everyone on soon. Then we went to the Wednesday movie in the fish bowl with all of the other interns. While doing all of these other activities, Henry and I worked on the intern challenge which we finally figured out by the end of the day! Tomorrow we are going to present our data for finding the platypus in a creative way! Overall good day!
