the downhill

things are definitely downhill from here, and i am happy to say so. i am glad to say that my work moving froward is exclusive of taking anymore hardware measurements! if you have ever done hands-on measurements or experimentation, you understand why i say that i am glad to be done with them (at least for the rest of my phd). before i can completely take my foot off the break and coast as fast as gravity will pull, i must ensure that i am going in the right direction. this week's progress (if you can call it that) has been extremely slow and painful, but i am glad and thankful that i am fixing these bugs and errors in my software before i base conclusions on bad results.

p.s. - on a lighter note, i love baseball and look forward to seeing how this technology ranks players. [nytimes article, free registration may be required]
