Friends?

To those who read me who I haven't added*, fear not, it could happen eventually.. when I have time to actually check out your journal, which could be a while. :)

In the meantime, a hello! to all of you. :)

The man himself..

My lab got a visit today from Bill Nye, the Science Guy! He was fascinated by all of our projects*, had plenty of questions, and plenty of stories, including what he learned at Fantasy Baseball Camp about how to pitch a ball. He also tryed out all the toys in the room that bore playing with--setting the walkers moving, trying his hand.. er, foot.. walking down the walkers' slope, swinging the swing model--and I think he had a really good time in our lab. He's a great guy, really charismatic, and we're glad we got to meet him. :)
