NBA

I went to my first NBA game tonight! Charlotte Bobcats vs Houston Rockets! Yao Ming! McGrady!

Despite having followed basketball since middle school, and vigorously idolizing several NBA stars, I never saw a game live. I'm glad I went today. The game was awesome, as the Rockets never had a full lead, and in the last four minutes a tight game developed. The Bobcats wouldn't give up, and after Yao fouled out, the Bobcats fought back to a tie and sent the game into overtime. Eventually the Rockets lost fuel, largely because TMac wasn't shootin well all night long, and lost to a better "team" team. I was up in the cheapest section and had to squint to really see the action, but the atmosphere of a live game: seeing and hearing the entire crowd cheer or taunt in unison was something I could feel throughout the entire Coliseum. I have to admit I was rooting for the Rockets, but the Bobcats deserved their win.

This weekend sucks!

So the Yankees are facing an uphill battle against the Angels. Hope they pull out of this one. The game today was pretty intense. Down 5-0 then went up 6-5 only to be beaten 11-7. Ugh! I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
