Are we nerds?
Day four - four days of building left
It is interesting to see how breakfast machines are used to identify characters in Hollywood movies. In movies like Flubber, Pee-Wee Herman, and Back to the Future it clearly communicates that we are dealing with a nerdy, strange, inventive genius that is a bit different from the rest of us. It saves the director a lot of time explaining this by other cinematographic means. But it doesn’t for the special effects guys. It is a lot of work to get it right.
Are we nerds? I don’t think so. It is just fun and everybody gets involved in finding solutions. Saturday started slow, but around 3 o’clock the place was buzzing with creative energy. Students from the Design Academy in Eindhoven created a bell sounding system that next Friday and Saturday will alert people on the ground floor that breakfast is being served soon. A young couple (one a philosopher and the other a mathematician) came to help Yuri with grinding coffee and the Platform21 team got busy slicing oranges for the juice machine. That seventies automatic Moulinex meat knife now sure comes in handy!
