Go Beavers

I'm off to Oregon State, OK that's not quite true yet but I'll be there in July. They have a Tsunami tank and a Wave Channel that's big enough to surf in. I'm tentatively assigned to Bill Smyth who is a modeler. I've already started peppering him with questions. Out of impatience I downloaded an oceanography textbook and I was kind of amazed by

Holy crap! I think that makes Corvallis the official West Coast headquarters of Go Team Enterprises! (Lookit me, keeping my fingers crossed for NYC as Go Team East.)

P.S. Nerrrrrrrrrd!

Hopefully we can get together a quorum for a meeting before you (and Supple) leave the state.

P.S. I think we are more of a rouge government agency or even an N.G.O. given that we are all students and or professors and in the end most of our paychecks come from grants as opposed to actually having a marketable product.

I can pretty much guarantee you all-you-can-eat hippie treats if you stop in Eugene on your way north, provided we're still around then (for July, signs point very much to yes). Problem is we're only an hour south of the City of Lights, which is a tempting time to Keep Freaking Driving, We're Almost There. Clearly, more plotting and scheming must ensue.

P.S. Enterprises was better than either Incorporated or Limited, I thought. Appropriately vague. I also like Go Team Adventures... maybe Go Team Associates, because we're so good at recruiting everyone within an arbitrary radius onto the team? Hmmmmmmm. I should really go to bed.

Yay! It will be fun having you in the neighborhood.

Once I'm in Corvallis I'd be happy to gather intelligence about who y'all should fund (you probably know more than me at this instant). I assume this is for sea-steading, are you planning to build in the coastal ocean or out in deep water (off the continental shelf)? If it's coastal you should look at OSU's engineering department (they run the wave tanks).
