It's been a while...

I'm over at Kiernan's; he and Jaime noticed that I haven't written in a long time, so I figured I'd bring it up to date real quick. I'm finishing up at UMass, almost done. There's a few more credits as incomplete classes which I must satisfy, then I can actually be done! Hurray! I'm pretty psyched for that, obviously. Civil Engineer in the house! The thing is that can't really do anything else, like going to Colorado for the Gathering.
My final year at UMass was focused on a project with Engineers Without Borders. We are building a water system in Kenya. I spent Spring Break there as part of a five person site assessment team. We went to gather the data we'd need to design a clean drinking water supply. It's for a village, Namawanga, in the Western Province (northwest of Lake Victoria, near Uganda). There are about 3000 people in the village, who drink surface water which can make them sick with typhoid, cholera, or worse.
I'm also still studying zero point energy. I've got a lot of people in my life who are working with me on this. It's great to be part of a team, finally! They're good company, and it makes everything easier. There are two groups, one is a formal organization; I just met with their lawyer. The other is more of a club that is considering getting formalized into some kind of appropriate structure. Preliminary tests seem to indicate that overunity operation of a ZPE generator is possible.
I'm still on the leadership council for DNE. We're thinking of buying OMNI! Ultrawoot! I would love it if we settled down and had the opportunity to really dig in. This
Shout out to, well, first of all everyone in the room with me at the moment: Gwen, Jess, Jaime and K-dog. Ana gets extraspecial mention for worrying about whether or not I made it home last night, SO sweet, aw.
Alright, it's breakfast time and I'm out of News. Mwahaha + Teeheehee
Peace out (and in)
