Paint going on...
Adrienne is ready to work!
Adrienne loves the radio earmuffs - she can't hear mommy or daddy calling and she can rock out all day!
Under Construction
We are in the middle of a bit of construction right now, with the kitchen and powder room completely gone. The end product will be worth the mess (I hope!) but getting there is a journey. The little ones are having fun playing in the mess and tracking dust everywhere, keeping mommy busy. This morning Tommy emptied the water cooler on the floor creating a swamp in our dining room that mixed nicely with the plaster dust to make a smooth white mud. Friday the base cabinets should be in and measurements for the counters done so that is a significant milestone we are looking forward to!
iPads and ELN's
It seems the iPad is everywhere lately, even popping up on a LinkedIn discussion on Lab Notebooks.
My opinion on this topic is essentially the same as the tablet-pc form factor. The tech is not there yet to get any real advantage in most cases, though there may be a few isolated edge cases. What I think we are waiting for is the next disruptive way of recording lab observations and tying the information flow together in a more seamless fashion. I do not see anything the iPad will make easier yet, except the type of task already relegated to the iPaq, or similar form factor which is essentially basic, situation specific, observational recordings. Now - don't get me wrong, I think it's very cool and would like to have one dropped in my lap to play with, but from a business value in the labs perspective, I think we are waiting on the killer app. (Let's just hope it's not Flash based)
heading up the mountain
I took these as I started up the mountain across the Danube, so you will see shots looking back across as I go higher. More to follow though...
