"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought." - Albert Einstein

Happy New Year

My wife Olivia tells me this year is the year of the pig, or on some Chinese calenders the more politically correct, year of the boar. Last year was the dog. Dog years are considered 'difficult' years according to Olivia. In retrospect, for me, there was much work last year. I was born in the year of the pig therefore 2007 is to be my year. Pig years are generally good, fat, years for everybody. Let's all hope for a great, fat, happy, Pig year for all of us.

Next week I will be in Las Vegas hitting the Consumer Electronics Show. I will be blogging from there at least a few updates, and some photos if I don't get caught (they don't really allow photos)! Some of the technology I am excited to see is the low light sensor from Korean Planet82, and what Bill Gates has in store for us. Texas Instruments also has a display of its'

technology and those of its customers. I will personally be searching for HD camcorders. The Sanyo Xacti HD1A is great but there must be competition by now. There are usually aisles and aisles of Asian vendors. There are always interesting products coming from that group. There will be lots of fodder for blogging and lab notes and new ideas I can bring back to my work.

Congratulations! It's your year this coming Feb. 16, 2007 (official Chinese lunar calendar begins). Pig people love good foods and they are friendly too. But watch out! They love to take naps too wherever they are...a good way to counter stress!
