Summer 2011 – Week #13 Review

Posted on Sunday, August 14th, 2011 at 00:21

The summer is quickly winding down: however, I have a ton of things to do, so it’s time to quickly wind up and start getting things done.

But before I try going insane, I hit up Music@Menlo and their chamber music concert, catching their last concert. Really, it’s a shame I didn’t catch more of their concerts, especially since they did a concert almost every day for a few weeks. Fairly standard performance of the Mendelssohn Octet, didn’t feel there was anything very stand-out about it.
Got my hands on the Kobo Touch, and finished re-reading Feynman’s QED (Quantum ElectroDynamics) mini-lecture series with it. It fits nicely into most of my jacket pockets, and it’s been nice to have a book within arms reach at all times. Tackling K&R and Advanced Linux Programming next. Review is forthcoming once I get a few more weeks under my belt.
Techshop! Got some laser cutting in, maybe 30 minutes of the 120 I need to make the membership+class worth it, assuming $2/min. I’m not sure if I can break even, but I think I’m going to try.
Happy hour is pretty standard. Not much to say, keeps me sane with social interaction.
Reprap, build log is still being appended to. Some setbacks, mentally switched to a “when it’s done” mode.
