  1. ESTEEM YOU'RE Once again, YOU'RE. Also 'well enough said' literally means the opposite of your intent here. I'M YOU'RE, TOO You literally made spelling or grammatical errors in every point you tried to make while calling another person dumb. Hat's off to you sir, hat's off. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=695&pictureid=5567
  2. Hobees on Mathilda? That's like walking distance from our office.
  3. Wait, KFP asked Jones if he knew anything about racing, and then Jones pointed out that they raced their cars on the same day. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. KFP points out that who ran the best time does not indicate an accurate comparison of two cars, you must also take into account their proximity to each other, and their relative value. DJ points out that KFP has no money, then KFP argues, until Jones mentions racing, which is when KFP says he has no money. Also KFP points out that DJ is Caucasian (he is not). GOT IT. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=695&pictureid=5564
  4. Dr. J, that is the correct response.
  5. HOPEFULLY, our installation in Japan. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=695&pictureid=5572 AUTOCORRECTED
  6. I didn't. I was in the Navy as a GSE (Gas Turbine Systems - Electrical), which gave me training in power generation, physics, and electricity/electronics. I was on an Aegis Cruiser (USS Normandy) as an engine room operator. This put me in charge of a complete engine room for ship propulsion and power generation. After that I obtained a position in the UPS industry (Uninterruptable power), which is the industry I've been in since. UPS systems transfer AC/DC, then back, DC/AC; so fuel cells (which put out DC, and need to be inverted) are a natural transition. Since these units function more like a power plant than a UPS (which was a surprise to me) my experience relative to these units in our emerging market has been optimal. Thank you Doc. It is my experience with data center customers that led to my receiving this position. Bloom was more familiar with general power generation (supplementing utility) than they were with the specific requirements and demands of the data center market. I am still operating/maintaining/installing the units, but also will be writing MOPs, or working with engineering to improve/implement designs, and ensuring that our company can move forward in this industry. This position is much more involved than my previous positions have been.
  7. Maybe Brett, and Dr. Rick. EDIT: Dude, did you ever see the 1980's remake of The Fly? The one with Jeff Goldblum? My favorite part was when Gena Davis opens his closet to see that all of his clothes are EXACTLY the same, and he says it's so he never has to decide what to wear. <3 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=695&pictureid=5561 <3
  8. Yes. As with any new technology, there will be a lot of criticism, and this technology is no exception. The newest versions of our devices are more efficient than the last, and will continue to improve. This isn't even my final form. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=695&pictureid=5585 Thanks! Which school?
  9. Some on here know I've taken a new job, some do not. I've recently taken on a new role at Bloom Energy, a fuel cell company based in Sunnyvale, California. I'm pretty excited about it, and they're happy to have me. Wikipedia Article http://www.genexe.com/uploads/2010/02/bloom.jpg http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4546262660417249&pid=15.1 The reason I was hired was Blooms commitment to a specific market, in this case they have a keystone customer (eBay) in South Jordan, UT. I will be here for the next 6 months to a year, ensuring proper operation of the entire plant until we can turn it over to someone local permanently. My position is actually based out of Sunnyvale (San Jose), but I'll probably do some traveling. A lot of traveling. Bloom seems to have a very strong commitment to their new customer market. If anyone has any questions, please let me know.
  10. Maybe it was poor delivery. Most engineers are socially inept after all.
  11. Someone doesn't know how airplanes work. REGARDLESS of if the plane takes off or not.
  12. It's probably faster than a lot of LSX cars.
  13. Dan I'd like to donate via paypal but it isn't an option. Is there a way you can accept a donation that way and get me a receipt? For the rest of you, He's only at 1% of his goal, let's do something good here.

  17. http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/vgm/3942165481.html SOUNDS GOOD JOHN
  18. By my account, 100% for the first, 22% sounds accurate, more like 50-50 for the last one.

  20. ALL: Check with your employers, some offer a match of your donation to a good cause.
