Today we visited HP Labs and the Intel Museum.

In the morning we ate breakfast at the hotel after a good nights' sleep (or lack therof). Breakfast consisted of coffee, DIY waffles, more coffee, more DIY waffles and an apple each (to keep the (medical) doctor away).


Not-so-shortly (I cant write "longly") we left for HP Labs. HP labs is the division of HP that does Research & Development on technologies that reach the public only 10-15 years in the future. We saw many exciting things (and, for some reason, a stuffed animal allegedly called a wombat). From using an ordinary touchpad as a writing surface to printing extremely high resolution photos to a plate of cookies that was effectively demolished in a matter of minutes, we truly enjoyed this eye opening experience. After that, we enjoyed another bodily aperture (mouth) opening experience (Lunch).

We then moved on to Intel Museum. In there, we got to (ab)use electronic kits while learning more about electric circuits. We moved on to looking at the origin of the intel microprocessor, and the fruits of the revolution that it brought about. We even got to make our own set of e-postcards and to see yet another implementation of a motion detecting game. After "horsing around with photobooth" (to quote a certain person whom you should be able to identify) we bought various souvenirs and left for the hotel.

On the trip back to the hotel, we stopped by the great mall where we greatly enjoyed ourselves browsing through a great collection of shops and greatly eating the great food that was present in great amounts. After greatly enjoying the great food and otherwise greatly enjoying ourselves (and causing you great pain due to the great number of greats in this great paragraph), we headed back to the (great) hotel room.

We really enjoyed ourselves going out today!

BTW, What good is unicode if you cant abuse it?
