Bottlehead blog

[JamieMcC]

Just found the Bottlehead blog on the product page. Its a interesting little read and a nice addition to be able to have some background history about the company and the folk behind it.

Would it be possible for the blog page to be linked to forum so it would flag up when ever a new update is posted?

Also a link from the forum to product page would make it quick to check products and their specs for anyone browsing the forum.

I just noticed the blog for the first time, and I want to say Go Bears!

Very cool that Doc went to Cal too.  One of my majors was astronomy, so I took a lot of physics classes.  Probably a few years after him.

I once did a astronavigation course the theory and math was rather intense for my feeble untrained dyslexic prone mind it certainly caused me plenty of brain ache at the time, calculators were not allowed for the course. I was very relived I managed to pass and rather glad when it was over and that was just a week long.  From a practical point with todays tech it seem a rather archaic process but rather humbling to think of the achievements of those who knew no other way.

I took a little bit of astro, notably a class taught by Kinsey Anderson, on interplanetary atmospheres (i.e. solar winds and stuff). Anderson was the head of the Space Sciences Lab at the time. One of the few profs I really enjoyed. Had planned to major in astro, but my time at Berserkeley was rather long and the extra year it would have taken was too much to bear so I got a plain vanilla physics degree. At the time you got a Bachelor of ARTS in physics from Berkeley, not a B.S. I thought that was kind of cool. I suspect that was a subtle psychological motivation to go on and get your PhD. A lot of my classmates ended up at MIT and Chicago. I became a carney, to keep the universe in balance.

Yep, I've got bachelors of arts in astronomy and computer science from the College of Letters and Sciences.

My roommate got a BS in EECS because he was in the College of Engineering even though he and I took pretty much the same classes.  Way back when I was slightly concern about that, but you know what?  Nobody cares.

And we're glad you did!  Think of how many lives you have affected.  Or should that be infected?
