A Simple Comparison

I've been asked to give a talk at my alma mater in a week. (Abstract!) I'm looking forward to it!

While reviewing my slides I'm putting together, I ran across these fun facts:

Highest elemental melting point: Tungsten (74W), ~ 3,400 C
Temperature of Sun’s surface ~ 6,000 C
Fusion reactor: ~ 20,000,000 C

This is why I like fusion. And preparing talks like this -- because it reminds me just how awesome it is to be working on real fusion devices. :)

Time to be (even more) Proud of My Dad -- One of MN 2008 Lawyers of the Year!

The title says it all. What an honor!

Dad's been working this case for quite some time, and it's still going on -- sometimes, seeming like a dramatic courtroom novel instead of being real life.

Way to go, Dad!

So, I joined Twitter

Now people have another way to keep track of me. On Twitter.

I'm still not sure if this will be useful, but I'll give it a shot. I mean, if my various blogs aren't enough, or my Facebook account, or an email, or a phone call, now you can see limited character sporatically-updated "tweets" about what I'm doing without any actual interaction with me personally. :)

Not to be harsh. I figure with a shiny new phone that has Twitter integrated, etc. it'd be nice. But for now, my cell phone is just a phone. (No camera, Internet, or anything!)
