Saturday May 26

The day began at 9 am sharp while the ladies decided to do some more touring Ireland, and us computer nerds went to a convention at the University of Limerick about 3D products. As I cannot account for the women I shall go over the males point of view. We arrived at the University of Limerick at 10 am and signed in at 10:30. We went into the main hall and saw three speaker the first was discussing his companies work in building 3D into phones. The second was working with 3D in many things. The last speaker was working in ways to view data in unique artful ways such as pottery and vibration so you can see and feel the data instead of just looking at data on paper. After those three presentations there was a break. After the break the guys joined a workshop with a device called the aurdino. It is an external machine that runs simple time based operations to light a light bulb as we did and had it blink on and off every second. Later that night we went to dinner and a music show at a pub where we had another night of authentic Irish food and Irish folk music. The night concluded our night in Ireland and our last night abroad.
