Yeah, so it's not really music... but it'll do. I sat down today in my new office, and I was astonished, and weirded out a bit. The entire Information Systems department (something on the order of 100 people) are all spaciously (m)allocated on this floor.

[yeah, malloc was a geek joke... but also for real. The layout is spacious, but counterintuitive. I find myself rounding corners and running into other peoples' cubes thinking that it's a hallway. it's like a maze.]

Anyways, I sat down for a second, and there's strange ambient noise. Is this what a real office is supposed to sound like? Tons of people I don't know, and faint distant overlapping voices; some being closer than others. The occasional beeps, laughs, and whispering conversations. Phones ringing from this cube to that.

I think I am going to bring in my MiniDisc recorder, or get a recording device for my iPod to get the ambient noise.

My cube is huge... but I need some people walking by detection. I should bring in my X10 hardware, and rig it to an LED in front of my monitor. For being in the corner, there's quite a bit of traffic.

Woahs, the lights just went out for half the floor (a quarter of a Philadelphia city block). And I thought Edison had a power problem. Hah. Nah it's just someone playing with the lights.

I'll try and get an MOV file up. For those of you who know, funjon, the building is 833.

woah... so I am trying to find the color printer, and I pass the new huge kitchen... they have breakfast for us! All sorts of bagels, croissants, fruit, array of crackers, and 5 different types of cheeses, cream cheese, butter, milk, OJ, sodas...

dzang! I could get used to this!
