p.s. I really hate Bobby Flay, especially watching him in Throwdown.

Duuuuude, Ka...that sucks =( can't believe how fail some companies are being lately...I know Eugena got like "roped" into her uncle's company in Japan (she had to quit a job like 1.5 months before she was supposed to start to be forced to work for her uncle), and the company didn't even arrange a work visa for her. But yeah, CAR SHOPPING! i wanna help!

the ideal car for any situation...ever...now or in the future...is clearly the chevy camaro ss. if you disagree, i know 426 horses who say you're wrong.

...i wish. seriously, i like cars! i wanna help!

And Jer, keep taking pictures, upload them to facebook imo.

didn't dave, jurrie, or shpang bring their cameras? come on! and joe, where's your photos of shtuffs? and hubbub? and preetims? and emicly?

Well the work front isn't going so well on my end either. BI failed to start my background check until 2 weeks ago, and at this rate I don't even know if I still have my job. I am looking for a car to buy though, any suggestions (Honda Fit, Mazda 3, Toyota...)

I keep getting crap from fellow '07 and '08s regarding hanging out with you '09s. I'm sorry, you guys are just way cooler. Though I now am invited to Reunion 1.5 from the '08ers whom I never really hung out with back in the day. This is going to be interesting =)

Poor Aarontar. I hope you can leave P&G in one piece.

Jeremy, isn't having a camera the best thing ever? I need to start carrying it with me at all times though, or have one in the dashboard, so I can take pictures while I am driving, such as this one.

Context: The top part of the ad read 'Ear Piercings.'

Dude Aaron that sucks. What you could do is hire Center as a consultant and have him rip them to shreds. If anything it would be satisfying to watch.

Also, silver lining: if you hate P&G again then you are probably looking forward to grad school even more, eh? Woot!


Also also, on an unrelated note, cameras are the devil. Now that I actually have one, it's made me realize how many things I missed out on taking pictures of. Basically, the only pictures I have from the 4 years at Cornell are from Aaron and Ka. Granted, those cover a lot, but I'm wondering what the best way would be to get more pics without being a pain in the ass and asking people to post/send pics. I feel like facebook is the only option but the quality is subpar. If I never got a camera, none of this would have happened. Grrrrr...

Context: How to take a sample off the machine

We had an intern/senior management networking event today. One of the side things was a pretty cool project that some of the actual engineers did while working full time. They entered some car competition where you build a raceable car (real car) using the current year as the budget. They entered the competition in 2007, so they had $2007 dollars to spend.

The engineers realized that there was no way they could build a car that would simply go fast for $2007, at least not do so and win. The competition involved lots of turns and twists on the course, so they decided to install some ridiculous blower to generate vacuum/pressure difference from the top and bottom of the car. It works really well, 1000 # total (only about .24 psi I think, but large area covered) of downforce. They were describing the system to us, mentioning the pressure change several times when

Engineer: "Yeah, this blower is crazy, it sucks 9 inches of water constantly."
Intern: "Where does the water go?"

Also, I hate it here at P&G. Again. I've talked with a few full-times who graduated from Cornell and other places and have worked here for like <2>

Project is going down the shitter too. I've never seen a piece of equipment that seems to exist for no reason at all. The max capacity of the machine is like over double the needed rate and none of it seems to be remotely close to theoretical execution.

So a fluid bed dryer is supposed to have the exiting air stream be fully saturated with water, in theory. This dryer takes incoming air at 77% relative humidity in the summer...and exhausts it at 51% RH.

Sorry for the rant, but I know I can't post this on my normal blogs or facebook.

Pre-context: "This can be visualised as a central core of diameter x, with typical a curved spiral wound around of thickness half x, although of course in reality it is made from one casting."

Quote: "This shaft fits inside a heavy duty rubber sleeve, of wall thickness typically x also."

Immediately followed by: "As the shaft rotates, fluid is gradually forced up the rubber sleeve."

Which precedes: "...as the shaft is "rolled" around the inside surface of the hole."

Real context: Pumps. Again. Only this time it's progressive cavity pump instead of centrifugal. Also, I found these today while at work because I was looking at what these pumps were. I almost fell out of my chair with my boss's boss's boss watching
