More Funny Stuff - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C.

Is this room's legal occupancy limit just one person weighing one-hundred, seventy pounds?

 

Classic spelling, anyway:

 

I had a relatively quiet lunch this particular day:

 

Confidence building, isn't it?

Exploring IEEE 802, Ethernet

“We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.”  -  T.S. Eliot (1888 – 1965)

 

So, how well do we know our place with respect to Ethernet? Please join us for a lecture, “Exploring IEEE 802, Ethernet” by George A. Sullivan of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

We will meet on Wednesday, June 7^th at 7PM. The meeting will be held at our new location, LIU-Post Campus, Lorber Hall, 720 Northern Boulevard, Brookville, NY 11548. Please see the attached map. Also, detailed driving instructions are available at  http://www.liu.edu/post/directions .

Visitors are cordially welcomed and admission is free and open to the general public.

CEU arrangements have been requested for this presentation. There is a $10 fee for CEU processing. That fee can only be accepted by check (not cash) made payable to The IEEE Consultants Network of Long Island.

Pre-registration is suggested. It does help us with planning when we know how many folks are coming. Therefore, if you can, please let us know via Meet-Up at this  URL:   https://www.meetup.com/LICN-Long-Island-Consultants-Network/events/239932210/

Light refreshments will be served at 6:30 PM. Just come in, have a seat, have a chat, have a nosh and we’ll have our lecture. As always, it’s going to be a busy night.

Have you seen our extensive blog at http://www.licn.typepad.com/my_weblog/ ? Our members are regularly posting information that should be interesting to the Long Island engineering community. You may also visit our web site at www.licn.org to get there.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. Please be in touch with John Dunn at 516-378-0979 if you need further information.

Paper Lantern - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C.

This little project can be quite entertaining for small children and even for adults. I made one of these one time at a company where I worked and it was quite the hit! In short order, a whole bunch more of them got made by other employees.

Just for the record, this was a kindergarten class project taught by Mrs. Burns at P.S.101 in Forest Hills, NY in 1949.

Red Coins - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C.

Here's a little something that is rather a mystery to me.

Now and then, I come across a coin, usually a quarter, that is partially covered with a red colored coating of some kind:

Whatever that red coating is, it's pretty sturdy stuff. With some moderate effort, I can slowly chip a little of it off with my thumbnail, but what exactly is it and how and why did it get on these coins?
