And we're back... [New week, new toys]

Took a three-day weekend, but it wasn't due to slacking. In fact, I proposed to my girlfriend of 18+ months, Jackie, on Friday afternoon when she got home from work, and we got to spend the entire weekend celebrating (She said yes, btw). There will be a video of the proposal coming soon for those interested. For now here is a picture of us a few hours after the proposal and a night of drinking with friends.
But now it's time to start getting into the rhythm of work. However, that's going to be a little bit difficult because now I have my own room in the CSE building in which to work! Larry and Jim totally came through on their efforts to provide me with almost everything I could want for this summer. My room has some computers that aren't being used so I hooked up one of their monitors to my laptop. There's lots of storage space, and I'm the only one going to be in here. So as you can tell, there's no way I'll get work done now. There's just too many neat things to play with.

Now I have a new goal for my previous list: Bring people into my room to say hello. People seem to be abnormally private and antisocial around here, so this has been difficult thus far.
