Hi there, it's been awhile. So far, nothing really new. Still married, Erin is still in school for graphic and web design, and I'm still in school for physics. This last one was (and still is sometimes) on the edge. I am finding things about graduate school that may not be what I want. That is, what I want may not be worth the work to get there, and I can get some job doing what I want (engineering and physics R&D) with only a master's degree, and not the whole Ph.D. So, the plan is to go ahead and get my master's in physics (which should be complete by January of next year) and then take another look and see if I can stay on for another 4 years, or if I will put it off and get a job. Of course if that happens I can always go back and finish a Ph.D, or get a master's in engineering (two master's equals a Ph.D, everyone knows that). In any event, I enjoy the research, the classes kind of suck, but I have to do them. Maybe by the time classes are over I'll be content to help discover dark matter. Anyway, that being said, back to work. Weekends are for homework.
By the way, still working on the data acquisition system for the LUX dark matter experiment, and now also working on research on avalanche photodiodes as an application for dark matter detection. Fun stuff.
Stay savvy.
