Posted by E-George on October 30, 2007
There was a test last week in my Circuits class over the Fourier Series. I walked into the test feeling fairly confident and left the test and left feeling equally confident. Normally, such confidence before, during, or after a test is a good indicator of how badly I smoked a passing [...]

Anniversary
Posted by E-George on October 23, 2007
Tomorrow is my parents’ 37th wedding anniversary. I want to emphasize the 37-year part. Especially in this era when many marriages barely make it to the 5-year mark.
What an achievement! 37 years of tolerating each others bizarre habits. 37 years of raising five children into productive adulthood (myself notwithstanding). 37 years of laundry, cooking, [...]

Bright Shiny and New
Posted by E-George on October 18, 2007
Through diligence, patience, saving, and gentle hints like, “I really need a laptop of my very own. You got a new PC. You also got a new job. I don’t have anything new. In fact, the last new thing I bought was pants. And, I paid for those myself. [...]

Let’s get demoralizin’!
Posted by E-George on October 16, 2007
I’ve been inducted into an obscure club by the Engineering Student Services at UNM. It’s a club reserved for a special class of students: Those whom the School of Engineering isn’t sure are smart enough to succeed. They sent me a letter which, in the politest of terms, required me to solicit and collect mid [...]

How would you approach this problem?
Posted by E-George on October 14, 2007
Because, frankly, I didn’t have a clue and used up more than 52% of available points digging through all the hints made available with the problem.

Physics is my personal Goliath
Posted by E-George on October 9, 2007
For which I have no sling and no stone big enough to fell it.
Intimidation doesn’t often visit my doorstep, largely because it doesn’t like to be laughed at full in the face and derisively kicked to the curb. It only comes around when it knows it has the upper hand and can barge into [...]

Balloon Fiesta
Posted by E-George on October 6, 2007
The annual spectacle of hot air balloons has lit the pilot light and lumbered into the air for 2007. That means the better part of Albuquerque’s work force is gone for the next week flying balloons, chasing balloons, tracking balloons, watching balloons, photographing balloons, hoping to be interviewed on TV about balloons.
