This weekend was open house at JPL in Pasadena, so we spent the day there. It was lots of fun: Very crowded, and it got hot, but we saw some cool things, like the Mars Science Laboratory (launching 2011; cute name still to be determined) all in pieces in the assembly building. Lots of robots on display, including the full scale working demo of one of the Mars rovers.
I thought it'd be cool in the robotics display if they'd borrowed one of the T-800 endoskeletons for cross promotional purposes, but maybe that wouldn't have sent QUITE the right message...
We were trying to call the grandmother in Hawaii to tell her and the connection didn't go through, weirdly enough. (It does happen, but usually only in very high load times like Mother's Day) MrLiz and I decided that someone turned the Frozen Donkey Wheel under Diamond Head and moved the island.
Because we're both geeks, yes. :)
