Italic Squirrel

Yesterday was a pretty usual Tuesday. No classes, lunch at school, and plenty of homework. I did get the install discs from Amy, so now I have "The Matlab" on my computer. ("The Matlab" is how Dr. Shiue always referred to it, and I can't say it any other way now) I don't know how to use it yet, but I've got it. I'll definitely be using it for my Missiles class, and probably using it for my thesis. And its good for me to know, as an engineer. Good times.

Today was even better, what with all the fiber characterization. The fibers are smaller, and just as strong - a good sign. However, they're not very cooperative. And the characterization machine has a bad attitude. All this means more work on Friday. Wonderful.

Brent is back again. I keep telling Jeff that we can't keep leaving food out.

If Dr. Dekken assigns another pile of homework tomorrow morning, I can't be held responsible for my actions. I don't know why that works, but it does so long as you say it.

In other news an old buddy from my scout troop, Kevin Lipe, is putting together a web design business called Italic Squirrel, Inc.. That was the name that we used when we put together the super-cool website for the troop way back when. In return for use of the name, I got an Italic Squirrel email address. It was a fair trade.

Finally, pray for snow.

Technically, it's Italic Squirrel, Inc. but who's counting?

I tried to find that old troop site on Angelfire, but apparently it's long gone, lost to the ages. What a shame--the frames on that pages were a thing of beauty. Thanks for the shoutout.
