I'm interested in building a Farnsworth Fusor, mostly for the neutrons
so you can set off alarms at SNO in the middle of the night? :-)
well, not until you suggested it

Incidentally, as much as I love my my new school, I learned a lot (although not necessarily in the classroom) at NCSU, and they deserve mad credit for doing great things...

Ah! You're back in school. Good for you!! We'll have to catch up soon. I keep thinking of you in sunny Manhattan Beach/El Segundo.

What's your major?

I got back to Flag the last week of August and started school 8/30... finishing up the computer science degree I started forever ago, and gonna pick up a minor in Japanese. So far, school is good... the work itself varies in difficulty, the real challenge is time management.

Congrats on finishing your degree. I keep dreaming of going back to school, but yes, in the end, the time management thing is what scares me off from the idea. Working and school and having a semblance of a social life? Is it possible? Japanese minor sounds very cool. Every so often I get emails at work from our Japanese agents with their text/symbols and then the English translations below. It's a fascinating language.
