We're working again. BigPavel is back, and the office is a hive of activity. Until, that is, some blockhead kills my X session by rebooting the terminal. I'm off to Paris in an hour.

Here's a picture of Kenny and me on top of a mountain (le Reculet):

I (and Liz, Chan, Shannon, Michelle, and Kenny) had lunch with Bob Jacobsen from Berkeley, which was fun. He also had some moderately intimidating things to say when I asked how an EECS u-grad might get into Physics g-school.

one of my physics professors insisted that EE majors were merely physicists who were in it for the money, and a EE professor liked to say that physics was just EE taught by physicists.

and a CS degree never hurts anyone these days...

for heaven's sake, you're an EECS undergrad from berkeley! oh, and you're also working at CERN! i think you'll have much better odds of getting a PhD in physics than many of the physics majors i know.

Good to see that Tobin and Kenny^2000 are having a good time!

I have a friend from Stanford who took an extra year to turn his EE degree into a physics one so he could go to grad school - he's at UT Austin now. I think you'll be able to make it. Especially since you can tell them you did a math degree as well - I think they'll like that, even though Berkeley didn't.
