RoboCop Soccer

Professor Manuela M. Veloso visited Drexel University in January 2010 and gave a awesome talk about RoboCop. Later DU-Wics had opportunity to chat with her briefly. I don't have video or picture of the main event but I found a smaller version of her talk on youtube.

Being a part of WICS

It feels amazing when I can still be a part of WICS after graduating.

WICS was one of the most important parts of my college life and even though I have left it, I feel like I always want to be involved in it some way or the other. 

All the grace hoppers and all the Google trips gave me some amazing friends and lifelong relationships. It is a rarity that a couple of female geeks come together and kick some 'butt', and to be a part of that, is priceless.

So hopefully, I'll have some ideas to put up here every now and then, and not get lost in the corporate world and the race within.

Sigh!

I miss college right about NOW!
