Personal

Today I was on my way to OIT (office of information technology) on the UMD campus so I could renew my password when a professor (Dr. Abed I think) from the ECE building volunteered to walk me there. We talked a little about college, time and the like before I reached my destination, he seemed very nice.

Today's (April First) Diamondback (Maryland's Independent School Newspaper) was wrought with hilarious little pranks that i took seriously at first. For example, there was an article detailing the university president's plans to shift the focus of the university from education to a permanent solution to global warming!

RP

Dr. Newcomb informed me of a few articles in Time relating to kinetic energy harvesting that i plan to take a look at. We discussed how exactly to conclude this phase of my research for purposes of completing the fifth and final chapter of the RP paper.

Marketing Research Surveys

The energy device will eventually become a reality and will require marketing to be widely distributed to those who can best benefit from its purpose, hence my cursory research surveys.

Update

Hello, Readers of my RP Blog. Today I discovered that I can now embed [Google] Presentations (something akin to Powerpoint with less features) so my Chapter Presentations will come up here in the (next few) this post(s).

Work on campus will not resume until sometime during the week of the 21st, when the Winter Semester ends and my Mentor returns.
