Work Pennies It is somehow appropriate that I would start the next day meeting with Marie-Helene ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0020 who chairs the Fench and Italian department from which they were divorced. To calm me, I had lunch with Betty Leydon ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0021 who squinted a little less ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0022 and talked to me about IT, something I knew before I moved into the new job. Later that day, I visited with Scott Tremaine ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0023 who chairs the astrophysical sciences department.

At this point -- Wednesday afternoon -- it was time to move on to bigger things, so I headed to the machine shop. This design of a camera that records its info on a Mac ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0024 was being touted by this gentleman whose name escapes me ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0025 except that he insists that he and Michele are good friends and we've met before. I was really there to see Glenn Northey ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0026 who was going to make great strides on the penny project. As we had done at ChefRob's, we recorded the details of his shop including the CNC machine ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0027 ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0028 the drill press ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0029 the bits ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0030 the lathe ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0031 and the student machines in the lab ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0032 ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0033 and the larger lathe ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0034 stopping on the way back to watch him use the micrometer ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0035 to get numbers for his ProEngineer design of one groove ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0036 and then 10 ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0037 for a module.

On the way back to reality, we ran into Ben Kaplan ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0038 and Carol Mason ../../../Sabbat/2003/07.07-09.03VariousAndMachines//IMG_0039 who seemed more grounded.
