Back at Class

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! I bit chillier than this weekend. I got the girls off to their schools. Michelle will take the boys to theirs and head to the Y. She'll teach her Monday Step and Abs class but keep it gentle this week, drinking plenty of fluids. 8:44am

I offered up the Joyful Mysteries for Michelle on the 1st part of my commute and then just listened to today's readings and homily the rest of the way down. I've got a fair amount to do today that built up over the weekend. Hopefully with enough focus I can get through it all. 8:45am

Holy Cow! We just taped out our first design to hit one billion transistors on a single chip. Brings back memories of when I was a kid and I'd see photographs of early microchips and hear "there's over ten thousand transistors on this chip". And unlike Intel or AMD, we have to keep ours down to a few watts of power, otherwise your phone would last less than an hour. 9:09am

“…But in the meantime, stir up your faith, fill yourself with hope, and make constant acts of love, even if you think they’re coming only from your lips,” — St. Josemaria on this day 75 years ago. 1:29pm

Spoke with Michelle shortly before my 2 o'clock meeting. She kept her Step class gentle, which means almost doable for mere fitness mortals. She's feeling okay and I reminded her to stay well hydrated. She's about to take Michael to his physical. He and Daniel have them this month because they attend middle school next fall. 2:15pm

How long before Apple acquires Leap? (see the cool demo) 2:31pm

Had a late coding/debug crunch near the end of the day. No fitness class for me tonight, but got a lot done today. 5:10pm

Smooth drive home. Listened to a little of Al Kresta on the radio until I got to the border. Then caught up on news with my dad the rest of the way. 6:32pm

Stayed home after dinner to help with homework and give Michelle some quiet time to talk with my aunt Susie. (also a mother of five, cancer survivor, and very experienced nurse) Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Good night all! 9:29pm

“I have told you this so that you might have peace in me.
In the world you will have trouble,
but take courage, I have conquered the world.”
