Summer is almost here…
It’s just one more week and I’m through with the semester from hell.
It’s not that any of the classes were that hard, though Marine Reaction and Transport comes close enough. The problem is that I got involved in many other activities and overextended myself again.
My last class was yesterday with Prof. A. [...]
The semester is almost (but not quite) over, and already the summer is filling up fast.
I will as usual have 20+ hours a week working IT for the Science Department.
May and June will be making a 10-15 minute video DVD for deep sea trawling impacts on seamounts. Of course that means I have to go [...]

It looks like both Dad and I have some new digital real estate.

Debby’s cool mint tin traveling watercolor paint set.
I stumbled across an excellent idea at Drawing the Motmot and thought that it would appeal to many in my family besides my wife and I.
My folks find themselves traveling often with my father being a professional photographer and my mother an artist. My mother, who has traveled [...]

Lise Meitner - Physics
Shirley Jackson [...]

One of the family’s big presents this year was a nice zoom dissecting microscope with a set of 50 metazoan and 50 plant biology classroom slides. Johann and Tammy have been going through a few prepared slides per [...]
