I interviewed with the RenXchange today. If selected, I'd get paid to call Alums up and see if I can convince them to make a donation to RPI. I was asked what I'd do if somebody didn't respond positively. I see this as an interesting opportunity to talk to RPI Alums, and get a better appreciation of American sensitivities.

Later headed to the Lego Robotics Training Meeting. The goal is to train school-going kids for the Lego League. While I did play with Lego as a kid, Mindstorms are still unfamiliar territory. We used Robolab to program a Mindstorm kit-based car. I felt kinda stupid that Lego still excites me. But it was cool because there were others who felt the same way and were there to share the excitement.

Dude.. Not sure if this is cold calling. These are alums, and they're most happy to talk to current students and also give back to their Alma.

The best part is that I've actually exchanged contacts with Alums employed with Cisco, Walt Disney and some folks from the Nanotech industry. Now how many cold callers in India do that?
