Birthday items

Tuesday, May 27th, 2003

Yesterday was my birthday. Not much. Ho hum. I don’t really care.
Why don’t I care?
The people who I would want to care, they didn’t mention anything, and I knew they wouldn’t. Those who I take time and effort to remember for, do not do the same for me. Even had one call me up yesterday [...]

Job Interivew

Tuesday, May 27th, 2003

It’s been a good day so far. Had a 2.5 hour job interview with the Carpenter Company. Started about 8:30 and ended at 11:00. So yes, I skipped class that started at 10. It’s a good thing I moved up this interview, they wanted to do it at 10 am to begin with.
Went in, filled [...]

Mammoth and Shooting Trip

Saturday, May 24th, 2003

Got off to a late start. Fueled then got on the road to Mammoth. Got 5 miles, realized I left my ski boots in my dorm room. Got back there about 11am, my roommate was still asleep. Picked those up, then got on the road here. Good thing I didn’t leave straight from the shooting [...]

Snowboards and Mammoth

Friday, May 23rd, 2003

I am sitting here at home, after a long night of working on my snowboard project. There’s a cat on the clawing and chewing on something. Hopefully a rat or a bird. But it’s annoying to hear it up there…..
We finished another snowboard. Our core material was a little thin in the Y direction, so [...]

Job Search, Class projects

Tuesday, May 20th, 2003

I decided to implement a commenting system by linking to slashdot. The link to the slashdot journal will be at the bottom of the comment. Thoughts? I hope you have some. I decided to just move all the old postings here over at one time.
Any new postings I have will first go up on the [...]

Electrocution, Westec Projects, Titanium Anodization

Monday, May 19th, 2003

Oh goodie. I electrocuted myself today. Nice 120 volts AC across my fingers on my right hand. Took me a minute to figure out why my hand was shaking. I was connecting the relays on the robot from the PLC, and began to shake. And I was assured that the PLC was off on those [...]

Beth’s Graudation

Saturday, May 17th, 2003

Ah, a frequent updating of a personal website. A true rarity, so appreciate it while it lasts.
Beth’s graduation went well. I arrived on time, which means it was standing room only in a crowded basketball gym. So I left, had breakfast and came back. Just missed her walking and getting the diploma by 5 minutes [...]
