As you can see from today’s Moblog post, my poster presentation is done! What started out as a simple little poster presentation grew into a week long project! I’m glad it’s complete and with a bit of brushing-up, I’ll be ready for the Research Symposium on Thursday.

In other news, I think my computer blew out the circuits in my office and my living room. While working away on my computer, Misty innocently flipped on the T.V. in the adjacent room. Doing so quickly brought my computer and every other electricity-loving device in my office to its knees. Thank GOD that I had just emailed off the final copy of the aforementioned poster and archived a copy safely onto a Zip disk. (Yes, there are people in this world who still use these antiquated little devices. If you don’t believe me, just try submitting something for large-format professional printing on anything besides a Zip.)

For now, my computer is running safely attached to a APC Back-UPS 300watt battery backup. This device is of course connected to a 25 foot extension cord which winds into the power-friendly dining room.

So, how about it? Are you using zip disks? How ’bout electricity? Used any of that lately?
