First, my Buckeyes lose in the second round to Missouri. Hey, we kick their butts every year in football. I do dig Quin Snyder’s hair. That’s one snazzy do. So the Buckeyes lose. To make matters worse, Indiana makes it to the big dance. Oh Indiana, how I hate thee, let me count the ways 1, 2, 3, 4… I could go on, but why? My hatred runs deep for the Hoosiers, with or without Mr. Loudmouth. So here’s to Maryland stomping them by about 59 points. Go Terrapins!!

March Madness
We are very proud of our Buckeye basektball team, winners of the Big Ten tournament winning three straight games over Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa in the title game. I still don’t know how the AP pollsters can rank Illinois higher than us, even after we man-handled them twice. The ESPN poll had been doing it, but they finally got it right. We definitely have the toughest bracket, but I think we can do ok, as long as we play how we’ve been playing lately. We have Davidson first, wherever that is.
Progress is being made on the tunnel diode latch. I finally put a picture of a screen capture of the oscilloscope of my first breadboard latch. Go here (dead link) for the picture. Once I get some more time I will get more info up here. The next step is to use our own tunnel diodes built here at OSU to make a latch. Things are looking good.

No title
The weather here has been crazy. Sunday it was 20 and snowing. Yesterday it was 10 and _freezing_. Now it supposed to get into the 40s today. I wish it would either still be winter or start being spring. None of this wishy-washy stuff.
I haven’t found too many new cool things online, but if you were wondering how much Mountain Dew would kill you,
here is a place to find out(dead link). I need 340+ cans to die. That’s a lot. Okay mister smarty-pants, how smart are you really? Take theDensa quiz(dead link) and find out. Get it? Densa, Mensa…Right.The Cleveland Browns are in the mix for trying to get Ricky Williams and Cris Carter. That would be sweet to get either of them. I remember during the draft I said the Browns would be dumb to pick Tim Couch over Williams. Now I’m glad they did, and it would be great if they got Williams to boot.

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.
