A lot of good things turn 100 this year, apparently. After attending the ACM Turing Centenary Celebration [1], I attended the 100th homecoming of my alma mater, Rice University.
It was a great time to return, as many of my friends had come back too. And the Centennial Spectacle, an audio-visual presentation projected onto the buildings in the Academic Quad, was quite something. I had goosebumps for most of the 15 minutes that it lasted.
