Ring Man

My son was supposed to be the ring man at my nephew's wedding on Saturday. My little boy is a year and a half old; so he is a bit young for this--but he was great!

There was, however, no exit strategy--so when the girls released him he bolted for the door saying, "mom."

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
