Boy am I bored... You'd think for the surprising (at least to me) sums of money these people are paying me they'd want me to actually... well, DO something! This is a little unfair, but not by much. I've really had about three solid days of something to do in 2 weeks, I spent 1 full day in orientation, 1 day reading a little book called "Electronic Safe-Arm Design Philosophy" and maybe a little more than a day running through all the OrCAD that I could find and making up some circuits to run simulations on. I do have some exciting news though:
I bought a car! It's a silver 2005 Toyota Prius with all the options :). The dealerships here in MN only have the fully loaded ones left, anything else is a 2-4 month wait. So I've got a navagation system, HID headlights, fog lamps, some kind of fancy stability control system, 6 CD changer AND casette player (kinda old fashioned, but handy for books on tape...), an auto dimming rear view mirror, and other nifty gadgets. It's a lot of fun, so many buttons! Anybody got any good ideas for a name?

Considering my luck with Stephanie's bird, I really shouldn't comment. However I have had a tendancy to name my cars after famous horses (Black Beauty, Silver). Perhaps you should name it after something you love or something famous. Just don't name it Jacqueline (see incident with bird)

I was thinking maybe famous mathematician or engineer, Tesla? (yeah, I know, total nerd)

Tesla definately works. Better than Edision.
