Well, I will give this a go and see what happens. Found Whole Wheat Radio following a link from J-walk. Found J-walks blog searching for Excel Stuff. I am a mid-50's optical metrology consultant to NASA working mostly on Hubble Space Telescope. Married to smartladyofthehouse, friend of zben in real life, a caver, have a tree farm in West Virginia with a 40' x 40' log cabin I built myself from scratch. Used to be a surveyor, construction engineer, enviromental engineer, etc. During commuting time I keep happy in traffic with ham radio, as KB3NCY mostly on the 2 meter band..
If you are bored you can watch me working on measurement (a quicktime video)....

Sorry the cleanroom camera is not working anymore, hopefully the camera will be repaired in the future.

Well, life goes on, we moved from our little cheep rental inside the beltway and are now existing in the new Hippy 2.0 paradigm and sharing a house for a while until we figure out the next step in life.
Change is something we all seem not to like, but is an inevitability. Its gonna happen, so we all might as well get used to the idea that change happens
If you need to know how to measure anything, just ask me how its done...

Life is good, and we got the new hybrid HVAC system installed. Chez Zben now has a Oil fired hot water radiator system plus a 3 ton heat pump plus 15KW electric heat. The idea is that we run the house on the heatpump down to about 34 degrees outside temp, then depending on which is cheeper, switch to oil or electricity. You all might be supprised, that some places in the USA its going to be cheeper to use electric heaters over oil this winter. I have been watching the conventions. Sorry to say (as a life long republican)that the republican convention wenesday night speeches were so loaded with pander and lies, I was in awe. When the party that has been in power from 2000 to 2007 (congress/senate/presidential) says its time to go change things in Washington, and get the liberals out of power, my brain went "WTF?". They voted the current mess into existance, and now thru the magic of oratorical handwaving want to blame that all on someone else? Small children, pointing the finger at someone else, belive that blame and resposability will be magicly transfered thru gesture and word.....
