Questions

What year was the Boca Raton Historical Society founded?

How much savings from using a recycled print cartridge?

How much did Office Depot spend to upgrade their lighting? What was the payback period for that investment?

How many years would it take 1 Blue Gene rack to run the flu virus test?

If a tree fell in the FAU EMI room, would anyone hear it?

What does NCCI stand for? What do they do?

Welcome to the Blog

I created this blog primarily to post pictures I take during our excursions. Feel free to post yours here too and to comment on what you see or add new posts.

You will notice over time that I like taking pictures of people who are taking pictures. Those of you who bring cameras will probably find a few shots of you over the course of the program.

I am doing this to record our trips and share what I have seen. The comments I post are reflective of me and my feelings at the time I post them. Feel free to offer other points of view.

Regards,

Questions???

How many of those "Green" stickers did they give us anyway?

This is one amazing room

The EMI room at FAU. $500 an ammonia smelling cone? This was a cool room and you could tell the people working there are very into their work.

Can you hear me now?

The EMI room at FAU. I would have liked them to shut the door and turn out the lights. Not to worry, we had a trained therapist with us to get us through the experience.

Comfortable Shoes?

Didn't the e-mail say wear "comfortable" shoes?

As a public service, here is a link with advice on comfortable shoes. Use at your own risk.

End of the Trip

I told you I like pictures of people taking pictures.

Here are some links to other sites of pictures of people taking pictures. They are not mine, I do not endorse them, I just like other perspectives.
