Demolition Monday

  Nothing like starting the work week with a demolition. Sure, it's only some lousy portable buildings on campus, but it's better than no demolition at all! Besides, it came with lots of guys in hardhats wielding giant hoses. Let's hope this is a sign of good things to come. Here's some rock to go with the demolition:   Turing Machine -- Rock. Paper. Rock. Turing Machine -- Flip-Book ...

the last word

i have a problem with just leaving emails unanswered. i always feel like a reply is necessary as soon as someone emails me. so what happens is.. there's this back and forth email thing that goes on. it's like waiting to see who's gonna run out of things to say first (eventually) or something. this happens to me all the time while e-mailing different people at work. a part of me feels like a pest ...

Homos in hardhats

Steve and I took a hardhat tour of the restoration project going on at the historic site in Silver Spring.  We remain enamoured of the place, and to get the unit we want we'll have to take steps quickly.  However, there are a lot of legal, financial and logistical hoops to jump through, not the least of which is the fact that the unit won't be ready for "delivery" until late August or September ...

44,000 Tons of Steel

... workers’ are real people. They’re ironworkers. I know because I grew up in a house with a “yellow hatted construction worker” – my stepfather. Watching the footage of these buildings going up and the hardhats hauling the steel to build them, I can’t write my dad into that picture. If Olympic Stadium was being built in San Francisco 20 years ago, my dad would be one of the men pulling the 44,...

... Laboratory, one was called Janus, another Shiva, and that Shiva was used in the movie Tron.  (And I got to see Shiva in the 80s when some of the employees had held onto the hardhats used for the movie extras that said Incom on them.) 5.  Speaking of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, when they were breaking ground for NIF (National Ignition Facility -- which replaced lasers such as Shiva), ...

Six Year Shock (3/?)

... were going to come back to get me. They always did because contractors loved numbers. Nerds. A few minutes later, Pete patted my hair to let me know we arrived. We got out and were handed hardhats from one of the construction workers. I put it on and followed Mr. Ryder while holding onto the folders Pete gave me back. Just my idea of fun.

Anyways, the flats we're amazinggg :] We was looking around the bedroom & the woman was showing us the wardrobes & i opened it & the first thing i said was: 'I CAN FIT IN...

... put your nose to the grindstone and try to enjoy what your doing.  I was so deep inside the bowels of a power plant today that guys were stringing up their own lights and wearing lights on their hardhats.  The machinery around us was so dense and numerous that it appeared like we were in a coal mine.  We were standing on this narrow labyrinth of catwalks, and I think we were about 30 feet up in...
