Mount Timpanogos
|
Rachel and I went hiking up Mount Timpanogos. It is about thirty minutes
from our dorm. There is a trail that goes up, and then there is a cave
at the top of the trail. You have to buy a ticket to schedule a tour of
the cave. Rachel and I nearly killed ourselves trying to get up there by
our appointment time. We actually missed our tour time by about fifteen
minutes. But the tour after ours had only one person, so we got to go on
it. The chilly cave air felt so good after that long hike up. Rachel
and I took a lot of pictures in the caves.
The picture to the right shows this formation growing on the walls that
looks white but glows green when you put a light behind it.

My Office
It's under construction, and the lab is freezing. Except when the air
conditioner broke down, and then it was 95 degrees.
Brain Scan
I got an MRI of my brain on July 4 as part of a research experiment. It
looks normal.
Arches National Park
We saw three arches that I had already seen before. Then my friend got
hurt, and we came home early.
SIGGRAPH 2002
SIGGRAPH, the big graphics conference, is coming up. I hope I have as
much fun this year as I did last year. This year I am a student volunteer,
so I will have less free time. However, my schedule is still packed with
courses, papers, receptions, birds of a feather, and lots more.
