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.
