Deka Cafe..."Where all FIRST Staff...

...goes to lunch." (Cheers theme music) do do do do.

Okay,

So I work @ Autodesk now here in Manchester, NH. Which is right down the street from both FIRST Place and DEKA Research (this little company owned by a Dean Kamen). At the DEKA Building there exists a cafeteria known as the DEKA Cafe. If you go there around lunch time you can offten find numerous members of the FIRST staff enjoying lunch. Today I ran into Eric Rassmusen and Dean Kamen. Just thought I'd share so that you can all think I'm just so special for having lunc w/them

Don't worry, we still like you.

Hey, you know, if you take the first 2 letters from Dean's first and last name, it spells DEKA. What a coincidence.

Justin, I'd expect nothing less of you In fact, I'd expect nothing less of anyother FIRST-a-holic that ran into Eric and Dean at lunch

Mmmm... Good Food

The Deka cafe has suprisingly good food as I learned from working at FIRST Place for 3 summers . The best are the chicken fingers ! Also, at least last summer, if around lunchtime you take a stroll past DEKA down to Arms Park you may catch a few of Deans employees out and playing with the IBOT in the park, made for great lunchtime convos with my campers !

working at FiRST Place...

I worked there 3 summers, never got paid, got addicted to food at the DEKA cafe and lost money by spending all summer there . But it was so much fun to work at FIRST Place as a camp counseler, wish I still could I need to save up for college though so I'm working 2 jobs . I miss the industrial size beanbags, those things were great!

Don't worry. I've been in FIRST for four years now and I just figured out how Deka's name was formed. I thought it was from a metric measurement that I found in a book one time (can't remember what it measured and how much).

You talkin about a Dekameter?

Deka- means 10; a dekameter is 10 meters

Actually, it's deca- , so it wouldn't work. Besides, Dean loves hexagons, so if anything, he'd name it Hexa if not after himself.
