Daily crono

You do not need to read this. It may be getting boring, as my life is quite uneventful here. Waking up at 8.20, walking to MIT, 9.30-11 the air traffic policy-seminar (talking about policies in general, and shareholders in particular, doing some group thinking on shareholders of air traffic system, their roles, values, influences, and power), some Chinese food for lunch from the lunch truck, 11.30-12.30 devising an interview template for our product development course with Atif and Shrini, 12.30 having coffee with Olli (who does not drink it), 13-15.30 class on innovation in the marketplace (on creativity, good stuff, and interesting assignment (more about it later)), 16.15-17.15 group meeting on disruptive technologies (RFID in our case), taking T back home, having dinner in the local Pho Pasteur ( not good, too expensive), sleeping, 20-22 working on product development, air traffic policies, and other issues, and later visiting Kumar, who has beer and a TV, both of which I do not have.
