If you stay in the Harrison video lab too late, you’re treated to the warning above. Such a welcoming warning, featuring the words “armed” and “leave.” Note that you can either click “Alright” or “OK.”

So far it’s been the kind of weekend where I’ve seen this warning each night. Everyone’s project is due tomorrow night by midnight, so we’ve all barricaded ourselves in the lab, hunched over the heyboard while staring into unnecessarily large screens for inordinate amounts of time; fourteen hours yesterday, twelve today, and many more tomorrow.

About ten hours into each day, everyone goes a little nuts. All it takes is an especially silly-sounding sneeze and the entire room (myself in particular) is incapacitated with laughter. It’s easy to go a little mad when you spend that much time tanning off the glow of an Apple LCD monitor. But at least my skin finally has that summery glow I’ve always wanted.
