- Amazon web services presentation - Mike Culver, representing Amazon Web Services, presented EC2 and other components in the AWS family, in an event held at the University of Minnesota , hosted by the Twin Cities Linux Users Group
- Canvas screening - Joe Greco was on campus at the University of Minnesota, to present the movie he wrote and directed on mental illness, titled "Canvas." Read my full write-up of the screening.
- Impromptu trip to South Dakota for my new car - I purchased a used car from a dealership in South Dakota over the Internet. Being very enthusiastic to pick it up, I convinced Sara to drive down with me (and back separately) to Sioux Falls, SD, about 4 hours away, on a weeknight. With school and work delaying our departure, we didn't get back home to Minneapolis until nearly 2AM. To repay Sara, I treated her to a nice dinner at W.A. Frost in St. Paul.
- North shore camping trip - We joined about a dozen other University of Minnesota students for a weekend trip to Two Harbors, MN, where we enjoyed tent camping and hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail. Trip was through the Center for Outdoor Adventure. A photo set from the weekend is up at Flickr.
- Adobe On AIR event - Adobe stopped at the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus, for one of the final stops on their Summer on AIR bus tour, a promotional event for some new technology (runtime environment for desktop applications) they were releasing, and hoping to convince developers to adopt. Adobe spared no expense, providing free stuff, a great dinner, an open bar, and excellent prizes (I won a great prize!), to compliment some interesting sessions on the technology. My photo set from the event is posted.
