Life in the "Real World"

Well ... I have been in the "real world" for a good 2 months or so now. So far so good :). I am so glad that I decided to bail on my PhD now. I have probably been putting 8-10 hours a day in at work ... but it is so nice coming home at night and being able to really leave work behind. I suspect that as time progresses, there will be times where I have to do a bit of work at night ... but I don't think it will be that bad. The work is pretty interesting. I have a lot of different projects that I am working on ... and I even have an intern :). It is tough meeting people that are in the same stage of life that Janel and I are. A lot of people at Intel have kids ... and of course there are a good number who are just a bit strange. I am looking forward to Allen and my friend Michelle moving out here. Anyway ... time to close this off ...

Webpage Overhall

So I decided to scrap my old main iansteiner.com page in place of just using this blog. I think my old main page was just a big waste of time ... so this is my new home :).

Waterfalls

Today Janel and Shelley and I went to Silver Falls State Park. This place was amazing. For those of you Illinois people who are somewhat outdoorsy ... this Starved Rock times ten. I am a big fan of waterfalls (almost as big as I am of suffering to climb to the top of mountains) and this place was great for them. We actually got to walk behind 3 waterfalls. I turned asian and took a whole bunch of photos ... you can see them all here.

Wedding Pictures from Rohini and Rashmi

We just received a bunch of photos from Rohini from the wedding. Her sister took a bunch of pictures at the rehearsal (here) and Ro took a bunch of pictures at the rehearsal (here). Enjoy :).
