<p>As long as we can all be calm about it, I'll bore you all with my opinion...</p>
<p>In a way, I loved the rivalry that was going on, because I'd already decided to go to MIT, so it was my first "MIT Pride" experience. =) I only got a little annoyed when one of the hackers started talking to my friends and I, encouraging us to come to Caltech. That seemed kind of "loserish" for lack of a better word. I could have read it wrong, but it sort of came off as "see how we hacked MIT? Yeah, cuz we're cooler. So come to our school instead." That's how I interpreted it anyway- but other than that 1 minute conversation, I really liked seeing the rivalray going on.</p>
<p>That said, I did not find the hacks particularly impressive. I didn't even know they were there until the last day. Some of the ideas were brilliant, but I really don't think it had the effect they were probably going for...</p>
