Sorry.. i was out of touch with blogging for a week now. I was busy at work.. was doing a couple of projects based in Phoenix..went there for a day (was extremely hot about 95 degrees). I also have been increasing my professional development by taking classes/seminars. I am making more marketing efforts to increase my billable work within my company. in all, i have been busy...

Another earthquake and 1100 (and counting) killed in algeria.... It is amazing how natural disasters kill so many people in underdeveloped countries and it is strange that the major research efforts for mitigation take place in developed countries. There should be more technology transfer...but then, how would the edge on high-end manufacturing be maintained by the former?
