Okay, here is a question to all of you: if you (or someone with the neurons) could design a blog template for Mad Mikey, what would it be?
I ask because there is a change on the horizon for Mad Mikey's Blog and I'm looking for a new look....one that is uniquely Mikey.

I have stayed away from this issue for a while because of the shear volatility of it.

Part of the process of becoming an engineer is the (sometimes) dreaded 'intern' period. Although I am coming into the engineering practice as an 'old salt' i.e., being an engineering technician for many years, I still learn something new.

The last final exam was last night.
I walked out of the lecture hall last night not feeling elated, but not feeling like I'd been molested by a gang of professors either. Just sort of....numb.
The only plans I have today are to schlep up to school to sell back the expensive, yet utterly useless 'Intro to Computers' textbook; hopefully I'll get some decent money for it.

I've held off posting much of anything about the viewing of President Reagan since a lot of people seem to be doing it and they probably did a much better job at recalling his many accomplishments and their memories of him while in office.
However, there is one thing that I thought I'd mention about the coverage this week.

"Honk. Puke-vomit-get sick." I replied.
"Oh, I never heard it called that before."
