Edwin Guarin is driving a bus fitted out as a high tech, lots of games and devices, digital dorm room to campuses around the NorthEast. He’s writing about the trip on his blog. He’s showing of computers, Zunes, Xbox 360 (apparently Rock Band is popular on the tour so far) and giving away gifts and prizes. Its a fun way to get a look at some cool technology.
The full schedule is here. Stops this week include:
- Hofstra University
- NorthEastern University
- UMASS Boston
- Bunker Hill Community College
Next week
- Bentley College (I expect reports from this stop)
- Harvard
- Boston University
Still more following that – check the schedule for schools, dates and times as some of the locations are yet to be determined. If he comes to you campus or to a campus near you stop by and tell Edwin I sent you.
Doesn’t sound like they don’t have anything my roommates don’t. 😉 I’d count computers, but let’s just say that the room was wired well, such that there are more Ethernet ports than residents, yet we have three switches. And every game platform known to man, since my roommates basically comprised the board of the gaming society here.
I’ll try to check it out next week, though.
I may drop down to campus that day myself. It’s more for fun than anything I think.
I’ll see if I can drop by. 🙂
Just realized that I have to be in NJ the day they are at Bentley. Bummer.
