Mel, Graeme and Phil's summer travel blog

Hey everyone,

As some of you know already, Graeme, Phil and I will be doing some extensive traveling this summer. I have been putting together a blog that we will be using this summer... It's under construction at the moment, but feel free to have a look. It'll document our travels and our stories for the summer, so have a look and enjoy!

Design projects

Just as a quick survey, how far is everyone in their design projects? Like timeline wise, how much work do you think is left before your particular project is ready for demo day? Post in the replies.

For those not in our class, Systems Design students spend their entire fourth year in school developing innovative projects that range from process improvements to software platforms that demonstrate stuff they've learned in class and on coop. You can read more about them here:

What to do, What to do.....

First off:
Kudos to Andrew for getting this going - if there's a class that could keep 90 people in touch, it's definitely 08SYS.

Where am I headed - likely Mechanical Building Design around the Golden Horseshoe region with affiliates around the world. Entertainment complexes, stadiums, arenas, rec. centres. It's my hand in the Entertainment industry. It's not quite behind a video camera as I had imagined it back in Grade 11, but after 5 years of Systems, I can't see myself doing some nerdy engineering work.

Oh, Life...
How important it is to keep in touch while our paths diverge - just think of the memories we'll be able to joke about during reunions.
Speaking of memory preservation, how appropriate that I'm currently working on the Yearbook and on the Class Video.

It's going to be amazing. We have shared so many awesome memories together. Too many to fit in 14 pages of yearbook nor 20 mins of video!
