Professor Michael Hawley, fearless in every way, leads the Personal Information Architecture group at the MIT Media Lab. He and Erica Orovitz, from Trimble Navigation, are riding the Media Lab's tandem bicycle for the final leg of our trip.

Erica Orovtiz works at Trimble Navigation as a Program Manager for the ScoutMaster handheld receiver. She also works with Visual Effects Production Companies in the movie business using Trimble 4000SSi Survey Receivers collecting positioning data which is integrated in the post production process. Most recently Erica took a trip to Nepal hoping to join the MIT Group at Everest Base Camp. However, at 14,700 feet HAPE got the best of her and she had to turn back. When Erica is not out trekking, she enjoys cycling, skiing, diving, and is an avid moviegoer.

Otto Loggers is currently employed as the MIT Museum's Education Coordinator. However, while doing so he explores MIT's outing resources: swamping sailboats on the Charles River, footloosing over the White Mountains with the MIT Outing Club and fundraising for Team MITOC, an adventurous group planning to finish the Boston to New York City AIDS RIDE '98. However, how couldn't he jump at this opportunity to get crazy and pedal over one more mountain range? With the Andes, Himalayas, and Cooks Range behind him, what's one more continental divide?. . .pleasure and pain!
