  On my first day here this summer when Dad and I went to DC, we went to the National Air & Space Museum, among other places, and I have now posted some of those pictures here.

  When I went to Baltimore, Mom and I went to the B&O Rail Museum, and I have pictures from that here.

  Incidentally, Vanilla Coke is best drunk straight from the can. I just thought I would let you all know that. Pouring it into a glass seems to let most of the vanilla flavor go. I think Pepsi actually does the vanilla part better than does Coca-Cola, but I can't stand more than a few ounces of Pepsi before it starts to sting my mouth.

  I have set up a new website, http://www.viscerallogic.com because at some time in the future my UMich account will no longer be available, so I figured I should get a head start on getting links pointing to the right place, since there are a good number of websites that link to my software. The name is somewhat oxymoronic, but it appealed to me. This server also has more storage space available to me, and other nice features (for example, I plan to make it so you can add comments to my blog entries). The main entry point for my personal stuff will be at http://www.viscerallogic.com/paul/, and my blog at http://www.viscerallogic.com/paul/blog/. I have begun moving over everything from my Michigan site, but haven't finished yet.

  I have also uploaded some more pictures, from Washington, D.C. and George Washington's home at Mount Vernon.

  There is about a week and a half left before my internship is over, and then I will head back home for a week and then back to school. I have enjoyed it, but it is beginning to grow somewhat wearying, as most of the major features have been added so now we're reduced to fixing bugs and adding minor functionality, which is rather tedious. Still, I would be happy to come back again next summer (as I have been offered) if I can't find a more aerodynamic-design related job. Right now I'm planning to finish up my Bachelor's degree this year, and then start my Master's the next year, which I might be able to get in one year, or may take two.
