Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year I tried a new recipe for grilling the turkey, and it was delicious. To make things better, the rain scheduled for Thursday hit a day early, so we had a relatively nice day for grilling outside.]]>stevoh@berkeley.eduMelephant2008-10-31T20:44:44-07:00http://www.melephant.com/files/b62da67c2c7a4677c463942c34eea0ec-82.html#unique-entry-id-82http://www.melephant.com/files/b62da67c2c7a4677c463942c34eea0ec-82.html#unique-entry-id-82]]>stevoh@berkeley.eduMelephant2008-10-08T21:14:43-07:00http://www.melephant.com/files/34c0772ec047c66c79618dea7a9e09c2-81.html#unique-entry-id-81http://www.melephant.com/files/34c0772ec047c66c79618dea7a9e09c2-81.html#unique-entry-id-81

The other day the local ABC news crew came by our lab in Berkeley to do a piece on the state of energy inovation, to be aired after the most recent presidential debate. Well, now it's online, and while they didn't use my soundbite (their mistake, as it was quite eloquent I think), you can now see me in the news doing something other than kiting. Click the screen capture above to see me hovering over my new coworker (another Alex) with my lab book and swirling nanocrystal solutions.]]>stevoh@berkeley.eduMelephant2008-10-05T17:44:27-07:00http://www.melephant.com/files/0cf021d1a2f2211846040cfca8c27fce-79.html#unique-entry-id-79http://www.melephant.com/files/0cf021d1a2f2211846040cfca8c27fce-79.html#unique-entry-id-79

As I'm pretty sure everyone who reads this knows by now, Amy and I are moving up to Hillsboro, OR soon. Well, about a month ago we went up there to go house hunting. We tried and failed to get a house, someone made a better offer on the one we wanted, but it wasn't all bad news. We made our first expedition into northern Oregon's wine country. It's a very different sort of place, but still very nice. The wineries seem more spread out, and the country is far more rurual than even Dry Creek Valley, dotted here and there with cow fields, but it is suprisingly only about 30 minutes from the area we're looking to buy into. It's Pinot Noir country for those unfamiliar with the region, and it's very good at that. It may not be Zinfandel land, but we'll adjust :)]]>stevoh@berkeley.eduMelephant2008-08-21T19:32:12-07:00http://www.melephant.com/files/f82bed0b83fd5f3ff4cd723c7d9806a0-78.html#unique-entry-id-78http://www.melephant.com/files/f82bed0b83fd5f3ff4cd723c7d9806a0-78.html#unique-entry-id-78Here's to 60 years!

In honor of this day, Amy and I made a couple of timelines to mark the occasion.]]>
