Well, it's been like 3 weeks since I last updated you all on what was going on in my life. So, if you care to know, you can read further. If not, I'm sure Drac won't mind swinging some ban hammer around :P Anyway, my school experience has been going well. Current GPA is 4.0, with finals coming up here in 2 weeks. The past 3 weeks have been tests, papers, and random projects, and I have learned a ton. Getting a master's has been a good decision so far. Anyway, one project in particular that we have been working on is a power train for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or EV. We are making one from scratch, and it has been a ton of fun. Working with 3-phase signal inputs, and translating that into motor controls has been the most challenging, but also the most rewarding. I may end up with my name on a patent for some of the algorithms used to generate the signal :) Work has been work. The same old stuff, different day. It's a bit harder being away, and working from home, but I could get used to it. I'm more of a people person though, and I like working with people. I don't think I could work from home everyday, it would get too boring. Now kind of a sin that I have to confess to you. I haven't touched a gaming device (other than the PC) in about 3 weeks. Now, I know what you are all thinking. I should be damned to hell for eternity. Well, sorry, I have just been that busy. It saddens me really. I think this is the longest I have gone without gaming ever. I do have some plans for gaming though, and MGS4 is right around the corner. I may hold off until then, just so I can spend all my time playing it :D Not playing games has allowed me to do more reading though. I have mowed through several books: A Painted House and An Innocent Man by John Grisham State of Fear by Michael Crichton
The Lucifer Effect by Paul Zimbardo All were pretty good reads, the last one is more a research book by a Dr. of psychology. I would suggest them all to everyone. Last thing before I leave. GO RED WINGS! I am excited to see if they will win the Stanley Cup tonight. I tried to get tickets to the game, but there is no way that I am going to pay $700 to go. I can buy way too many things with that money. Well, that's all for now. I hope you are all doing well!
