Hi, remember me?

Well, I have been remiss in updating the blog recently, though I have lots of good reasons. Actually they all boil down to one: I have been too busy to post.

What have I been up to? Here is the summary in five lines:

  1. Working like mad to finish my last semester of classes (only three weeks to go!).
  2. Installed new optical tables and workbenches in the lab (I’ll do a virtual tour one of these days).
  3. Took the Professional Engineering exam at the end of October (I think I passed, but will know for sure in late December).
  4. Working out at Emerfit doing the CrossFit thing (the longest I have ever stuck to a workout plan, including basic training!).
  5. Any remaining seconds in the day were filled with family stuff, and sometimes sleep.

Just to keep you entertained until I have more time to post interesting things, I point you to The Periodic Table of Videos, put together by the University of Nottingham. Check it out, if only for the great hairdo of academia (you’ll know it when you see it).

For example, here is the Cesium video:



There are lots of great videos on their site.
