  Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging much, but it's been another super crazy busy week with FIRST and work. But things are going really well here!! We had out IAP Pub Night in Chicago on Tuesday and 30 people came!! That was exciting, because I haven't been able to get that many people to a happy hour yet this year. :) And Stacie came down from Wisconsin - ;) - so it was fun to get to hang out with her!! And I found out that I won't get to be in SF for six weeks, but for one week in february and two weeks in march. Anyone who will be out in the bay area for the first week of February that wants to hang out, let me know!! So I'm on this IDEO/Motorola committee - yeah, ironic, don't you think :) Anyway, it's going really well, and after today's meeting I'm actually really proud to be working for Motorola. There's a lot of cool stuff in our future if we listen to these guys!! And I get a little tour of IDEO SF when I'm out there in a few weeks!! And FIRST is going really well too! Raul and Miten are CADing away and we should be starting on a prototype soon :) Other than that, I've just been thinking a lot about what I want to be doing for the next few years.
The more I'm involved with Moto people outside my lab, I realize that it's a pretty cool place that can do some pretty cool things. And this Moto/IDEO thing has really made me realize that we have some great people in the labs and in the company. So I think I'm applying for this masters thing at northwestern and seeing if I can get Moto to cover any of it.
It would be fun to stay around Chicago too :) But who knows...if I get into IDEO, I just may change my mind!! A final note, anyone who has ever ordered from Amazon and wished that they could actually speak to a PERSON, here is their hidden number... 1-800-201-7575
