Laptops are Fun

I've been enjoying the use of my new laptop computer. I finally decided to bite the bullet and obtain a machine that will be helpful while I travel and make increasing numbers of professional presentations. And, of course, play games.

In particular, this post is coming from the waiting area of my local area Car-X, where I will unfortunately soon pay a rather large sum to make sure my car can stop safely. (Brakes, it turns out, are an important safety feature of a motor vehicle these days.)

Work is continuing to go well. I've been versing myself in the art of Igor Pro XOP programming, which is essentially grafting the codes I've developed over the last several months into a different package that can then be accessed through Igor, a program that our research group uses extensively to view, manipulate, and otherwise look at data from our experiments.

With things starting to warm up these days, it's just about time for a BBQ!
