I have the aformentioned items in my hot little hands; a helpful fellow at an undisclosed organization was kind enough to ship me two via FedEx yesterday. I’m asking the students to redesign the packaging of the Humanitarian Daily Ration, the standard foodstuff airdropped to refugees in places like Afghanistan and Iraq (and often confused with unexploded cluster bomb munitions). In my humble opinion the design leaves a lot to be desired, and I’d like to see what the students can come up with to make the package more self-explanatory and inviting.
Well, it looks like FireWire cards are super-cheap ($15+), so I may be picking one of them up sooner rather than later. That’s some good news. I also renewed my domain name for another two years with the Evil Empire.
