Anyone there?

So about two months ago, i started a vacation from my job during which i bummed around in Palo Alto at my parent's house. People that know my parents know what that means: no internet. No IM, and no blogging.
Either way, i have moved back to Berkeley again, and we sorta kinda have internet and phone but neither of them seem to be set up very practically. I never sign online or write in my blog anymore, but i've been wanting to start again. If you read this, leave me a comment. Maybe if people are still checking my site, then i'll see if i can keep up with the columns again.

Anyway, in the news of my life... I learned yesterday that the fusion program at LBNL is being cut 60% to move funding to the ITER (an internation tokamak fusion reator) project next year. Since 90% of our fusion funding goes towards people's salaries, there is a lot of anxiety and anticipation about what will probably happen sometime soon. It's been a bit depressing around here.   ¶ 2:21 PM
