Ever bent a piece of metal or plastic back and forth until it broke? Amorphous metals don't break no matter how many times they bend back and forth. Why is this relevant? Every time a plane goes through turbulence, it's wings wobble up and down like crazy. If it happens enough times without the...

Grilling salmon marinated in garlic-and-lemon sauce and fresh orange juice later today... Did chicken with a similar marinade a couple of days ago... Helped my mom make some excellent pasta salad with mushrooms, orange pepper, green-beans, and pine nuts last week...

Avoid rush-'hour' traffic. That's from 1pm to 7pm in Seattle, folks.

Geology undergrad, minors in Physics and Astronomy. I'm planning on going straight into grad school after I get my BS. My goal is to work for the USGS Astrogeology lab in Flagstaff for a few years as a post-doc, and then find a university that'll give me a team of grad students to trudge around...
