Been a while again. Slacking as usual :-S

In the meantime I kept busting my legs playing soccer and since I didn't make the team (yet?) I got some time to let all those aching joints and muscles to fully heal. There will be soccer practice soon so no worries.

Busy pretty much sums up March and is a good predictor for April and May. In March we finished and delivered all necessary materials to our German collaborators (uhm, no pun intended), and following that we jumped into working on our own experiment. Crunch time still ongoing.

And last week I had my first trip outside of Pittsburgh! Timing couldn't be worse but the symposium was pretty good, my presentation went well (video will be up soon!), and NY is a nice city.
It's big, 50% or more of all cars are yellow cabs, the cab drivers are insane, New Yorkers are... well New Yorkers. Still, lots of interesting stuff to see, do, buy, etc.
Which I didn't have time for since I flew in on Tuesday afternoon and left on Friday afternoon again. In and out.

Oh, I shouldn't forget to mention my new found addiction called ebay. Yes sir. Buying obscure albums is something that keeps the money flying out of my bank. But being debtless makes these expenses easily peanuts.

Last thing before I sign off, spring has finally arrived!! The upcoming week should be mostly sunny and 17 Celsius so even though I'll be locked in the basement of the building where I work, these are good times :D
