Tri-School Games

Just had our Tri-School basketball and volleyball games again. This time UNC-Charlotte actually drove all the way over to join our competition. Duke did decently, winning one and losing one. Our record overall is not stellar, but I think everyone had a good time. I think sports are important, for health and for lots of other things. It brings people together. There were probably over 100 people in the gym tonight, including all the players and supporters.

I had fun playing volleyball too. It's been a while, and I realized how much I enjoy the game. It's not as contact heavy as basketball, and much more of a team sport.

Things are going quite well lately. I haven't updated as much, and I promise to get back to doing that more. I've actually been quite busy in lab, trying to understand how some electronics work. Today I made a tiny tiny breakthrough and finally understood how a simple piece of electronics works. Just the feeling of really understanding something, even though it's nothing new in terms of the physics, feels really good!

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...
