Plumliquor Sweet, Vintage 2006

Pretty good, pretty alcohol ...

I thought no one would try it, but it was finished! People even picked out the plum for a taste ...

Time to buy more bottles, make more to keep up with demand.

It's Just Getting Worse ...

Students fear for job prospects in U.S. visa crunch
EE Times (04/05/2007 8:05 PM EDT)
BOSTON — As foreign students prepare to graduate from U.S. universities this spring, many worry that a record number of applications for U.S. skilled-worker visas may cause them to lose jobs they have already been offered. Fresh university graduates are vulnerable to being rejected for the H-1B visas designated for skilled workers. A record 150,000 H-1B applications were filed in one day this week, nearly double the number U.S. authorities are allowed to grant in a given fiscal year.

I don’t want to say that Berkeley is “under funded”, but when the Cal football team somehow manages to win the Ax, their facilities people actually use it.

TECHNICALLY FUNNY

Tech comedian finds laughter in logic, absurdity in analysis

As a professional engineer turned professional comedian Don McMillan (MS 1982 EE) is pretty much one of a kind. A lot of people use Powerpoint, but only McMillan’s slides are intentionally funny (samples are at www.technicallyfunny.com) A lot of comedians make jokes about their spouses and the opposite sex, but only McMillan’s jokes are explicitly in the context of thermodynamics or optimization. After years designing logic circuits, he found his true calling and traded silicon for silly.
