Another day

Winter quarter is almost over already. That is crazy. Right now I’m working on a couple papers for my two classes, EE735 and EE831. Both will be about tunnel diodes. Surprised? I think they will be a good way to get going on my thesis writing, though, so that is a good thing. I’m also starting on the layout of some masks that we will be using to make some Tunneling SRAM. That is cool. More on that as I get more done.

I finally posted my resume on monster.com. After over a year of being told not to use monster.com by the Engineering Career Services, I took the dive anyway. Within two days i already had two contacts about possible openings. So far niether have panned out, but that is better than none. The job market is slow right now, so I’m up for anything that comes along.

I finally got a picture of my new Jeep online. Check it out. (dead link)

School is here

It’s been a while since I last posted anything, but I’m still here. Not much exciting to really talk about anyway. I don’t like the color scheme I’ve currently got, so I’m trying to change that, too. Any suggestions? School started and already sucks. Went and saw Zoolander (dead link) this weekend. Two of my favorite actors (Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson) were in it, and while there were a lot of funny parts, the movie itself lacked substance. I’d recommend waiting for this one to hit the cheap theaters.

I guess one exciting thing this week is that Greta and I have started investing online. We opened an account at sharebuilder.com. It’s different from other online brokers in a lot of ways. Check it out if you’re interested in dollar-based investing.
