She graduates on Friday the 17th, but today is quite possibly the most important day in my wife’s undergraduate ChemE degree. She and her group are turning in their report and giving their final presentation for Senior Design. The past few weeks have been non-stop for us (more so for…
I’ve posted the first of a series of “Turn of the Century” wallpapers in the artwork section of my site. I’ll try to produce one per week and all will be based on the postcards and turn of the century nostalgia that inspired this redesign. My motivation comes partly from…
