What to bring to the Institute

I've had a question already about what to bring to the Institute. Here are my initial suggestions.
  1. USB drive (at least 1GB)
  2. PowerPoint slides you may wish to narrate.
  3. Headset with a boom microphone if you have one. We'll be supplying them for those who don't but, for budgetary reasons, we had to purchase inexpensive ones. If you want to purchase a set on your own, here is a recommendation. Plantronics .Audio 650 Stereo Headset.
  4. If you have web storage space, the configuration settings for copying files to it. Typically this would be the host name (URL), your user name and password, and possibly a specific port number. If you don't have web storage space, don't worry about it.
  5. There will be plenty of time to create projects you can use Fall quarter. So depending on your projects, you may need to bring other files and documents. Review the project ideas in the previous posting and if you decide to pursue one or two of them, bring the supporting files, etc. you'll need.
Feel free to add your own suggestions or questions using the Comment feature of the blog.
