Last weekend, my mom and dad had their first encounter with a Nintendo Wii, and quite the encounter they had. Everyone was lucky that my mom left at least 6 inches between her swinging arm and the front of the TV screen. Although, I do have to admit, that by the end, they were figuring out what they were doing. But enough typing on my end… I’ll let you all decide on your own with the video footage below:
This last weekend was spent with much of my extended family up in San Francisco. It was great seeing everyone and we had a couple things to celebrate–on Saturday night, we celebrated my 22nd birthday (which will be on Thursday), and then on Sunday, my Uncle Marty received the C. Anderson Aldrich Award from the AAP. I was glad that I and so much of the extended family was able to be with him while he received this honor.
The 6th man tip off went down last Sunday night in Maples Pavilion. Included in the event was singing by some of Stanford’s finest–Taj Finger, Peter Prowitt, Robin Lopez, and Landry Fields. There was also some five on five basketball: 6th man vs. the men’s basketball squad. Luckily, the taller, more athletic, and better looking players had a handicap to even out the game. The players were forced to wear red-diapered sumo suits. Not only was it impossible to jump, run fast and dribble, but it was also a challenge to bring their hands close enough together to get off a descent shot. The night featured guest appearances by the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band and by the Stanford Dollies. Below are just a couple pictures to get a feel for the night, and hopefully, I’ll be able to post video footage in the future.
Today, during the exercise physiology seminar I’m helping to TA, the class moved outdoors following a student presentation. Click below to see several more pictures of the class having some fun in the sun.
Note: Operation Firefox is a project I’ve been working on with Mozilla over the past couple months. It has carried over from my summer internship. This post is a copy of what I wrote on the Mozilla Blog.
Are you ready to infiltrate society and spread Firefox one sticker at a time? Operation Firefox is currently recruiting agents to place huge 3.5’ Firefox stickers where the world will see them. In addition to worldwide notoriety, you might wind up with a new MacBook Pro or a Nintendo Wii.
Operation Firefox began last summer as a project initiated by the Mozilla Marketing interns. We had seen what the Mozilla community produced before, including the New York Times ad, the Firefox crop circle, and the Firefox Flicks contest, and decided to step up to the challenge andcreate another opportunity for Mozilla fans to show off their creativity.
This newest campaign puts 3.5 foot Firefox stickers in the hands of our community and looks for creative new ways to share Firefox with the world. Ultimately, our goal is to get50 great photos of the Firefox logo in situations that promote some of the defining characteristics of the Web browser–performance, security, customization, and community.
The contest is two-tiered: first, we’re putting out a call for the 50 best “placements” for these stickers (due November 9th). Then, the most creative agents will receive a fathead sticker to complete their mission: take a photograph and submit before December 3rd.All 50 photos will be displayed on the Operation Firefox website, but the four best ones will receive a new MacBook Pro or Nintendo Wii.
Do you think you have what it takes to be an Operation Firefox agent?To learn more about the contest and how to participate, visit www.operationfirefox.com.
In the center of campus is a giant white “birdcage” used to advertise events and hang banners. The cage is about 25 feet tall, but it rarely ever used above 10 feet. Thanks to Joel Sandler, the man pictured below, the 6th Man Club decided to be adventurous and hang our banner at the very top! Click image below for more pics.
I wanted to share a video that I had created for the Stanford Men’s Basketball program. It covers highlights from the last ten years of cardinal basketball. Please give it a second to load.
College basketball season is almost here, and it’s time to get mentally prepared! To get this season started off right, the Stanford Men’s Basketball 6th Man Club will be holding a tip-off event in Maples Pavilion on October 20th.
