Have fun and learn something new

During my time at Miami, I came into contact with my fair share of interesting individuals. There was one person which stands out in my memory. He was the professor for my "Intro to Engineering" course my freshman year. Quite an eccentric teacher, my professor had this odd passion for teaching. He lived to see the proverbial light bulb switch on. At the bottom of every document, he always added the following disclaimer:

"HAVE FUN AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW"

At the time, everyone in the class thought this was the most ridiculous mantra to add to a homework assignment, myself included. Years later, I reflect back on this phrase and realize that it has become my mantra. Every day, I search for new knowledge; from what temperature 4130 Chromoly must be heated to achieve annealing to understanding how to calculate reflectivity of clouds based on water vapor density. My interests are as strange as they are wide. 

This blog will serve as a window into some of my explorations. There is so much to know and understand...we best get started!
