Well, basically the idea is surgical simulators of various types. See
http://cs.millersville.edu/~webster/haptics/ The project I'm working
on doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on that site though.  But the
short of it is that rather than the VLI device, I'm programming a
haptic feedback laparoscopic device.

My graduation date will be December 22nd I believe.  Either that or
the 15th.  They haven't updated the calendar that far in advance yet,
but I believe it is always the second or third sunday of the December.

That is, unless I screw something up.  I did last semester, but I
still have room so it doesn't hurt me too badly.  But I can't repeat
that.
