Tonight, Dean Kamen was honored by WPI with the inagural Presidential Medal... honoring citizens for their contributions to technology & humanism..

And after the reception, Team 190 convinced Dean to join us in one of our favorite team events: CRUD (look it up online.. it's an AirForce game)..

Needless to say.. we were proud to have Dean, CRUD name Ginger, to join us in the game..

Pictures and followups to be posted by the posters who had the honor of playing with him: Traitor (me), Hampster (Timmy), Chuckles (Deej), & Techie (Kate)...

All you need is a pool table, cue ball, 8-ball, and some 'competitive' participants...

This physical game is not quite internet-friendly..

check out this link for some of the rules of the game:
