Some interesting goings on in New York City.

A homeless NYU student is living at the Bobst library. It may seem like he has other options, but he covers how he ended up there in his FAQ's... he doesn't get money from his folks... he works four jobs, has scholarships and loans... but it just isn't enough.

Some other students held a real life game of Pac Manhattan. Controllers used cell phones to direct other people dressed as pac man and ghosts around the New York City grid.

I wonder if they will try a game of frogger Seinfeld style next.

    We made a trip into NYC to see Pac Manhattan this past weekend. It was very amusing and lots of fun! :)

    I'm trying to set up a Pac Man in Seattle - I'm bringing in my research to the next Seattle Blogger meetup.

    I have been holding out, but I too dislike blogger comments. Sorry, but I liked your old ones better, they were much easier to read. There, I said it and I feel better.
