So thrilled you've enjoyed the course.  Recognizing it's the most technically challenging (as well as highest workload), and coupling that with an exceedingly frustrating instructor who is happy to sit back and let you struggle, you've done a mighty nice job in stepping up to the challenge.  Only a couple weeks left... don't let up!

You're on the home stretch of a mighty difficult course, not just in content but also in terms of level of independence.  You've done well -- keep it up for just a few more weeks!

Sure been nice having you in here!

Nice post!  I appreciate how you put some time and thought into it.

It's actually pretty cool to learn about all the safety mechanisms working inside... I took a class where we spent about an hour looking at all the engineering that goes into a standard Glock (chosen because they're very reliable and simple) -- and it really gives you an appreciation for the level of detail and creativity that goes into strong design.

Lots of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff here...

Off to a great start!

Absolutely beautiful.  And you put that first video together?  Great dramatic musical selection to go with it!!!  

I'm hoping you get some good news too...  

Fantastic application of physics in soooo many ways.  I'm always floored by aircraft carriers and how they're able to maintain such stability.  Big ships are totally cool!  

I also have a "microelectronics in high school" mini-unit that covers the basics of not only transistor functionality, but device physics, chip design, and manufacturing: http://www.aplusphysics.com/educators/STEP.html

Yikes.  Hope you're doing OK.  

And keeps your fries tasty!

waffles are much better because they are much faster to make

I think it's safe to say you've never made waffles and pancakes?  One is definitely faster, but it's not the waffles...  

Spent TONS of times in clean rooms, most of which at a cleanliness level thousands of times cleaner than surgical suites.  There is a TON of money and engineering spent on creating cleanrooms -- fantastic career opportunities!  

And since it's about baby squats...  gotta start 'em young!

@SJamison is fierce on the ice!  

That does NOT look pleasant... 

Wow.... now that had to be embarrassing.  

 

It's all about conservation of energy!

Then they become your former friend?  

You are on quite the roll here...

You could even calculate the moment of inertia depending on load size!

Well done -- all sorts of physics in swimming!

This is exactly my agenda with my little girls tomorrow... rake leaves, watch them jump in them.  Lather, rinse, repeat.
