I am sitting in the library, nigh-upon slack-jawed. I have just witnessed a live performance of Pac-Man. Yes, I just said that. A live performance of Pac-Man. Two people, one wearing a Pac-Man costume (that makes sound!) and one wearing a Blinky costume chased each other around the library. Yes. Perfectly made costumes and black pants. It was incredible. I took a terrifyingly low-quality video on my cell phone that I will consider editing and posting, because it was absolutely amazing. Everyone clapped when they left.

In addition! The software available in the library is incredible. I have access to an incredible CAS, Maple 10. I have access to the entire suite of Adobe applications, including Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3 and Acrobat 8 Professional. I have the complete suite of Macromedia applications, including Flash 8 Professional and Dreamweaver. In other labs, I have access (I think) to engineering and design tools from Autodesk. I have access (I’m certain) to every conceivable software development tool and suite anyone could need. Hardware is plentiful, and I’m even able to log in to presentation kiosks in classrooms. The library will also request books and articles from almost any other college library in the US for free (they charge staff). In short, the resources available to me are nothing short of incredible. There is nothing you cannot accomplish for lack of resources.
