1980- I chose the computer because without it our world would be so different. Everything from lesson plans, to sending emails, to being able to do web searches, all started with the computer.
Building accurate, intricate computer models that allow scientists and stakeholders to understand the interplay between Earth, water, clouds, and atmosphere is what Dr. Ruby Leung does at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She conducts cutting-edge research and refines models that are vital to predicting climate and understanding the impact of energy policies, new technologies, and our changing climate. As an example, to better simulate climate change effects on hydrologic conditions over mountain watersheds, she developed a unique framework for modeling the regional coupled atmosphere and terrestrial systems. She also applies regional climate models to study hydroclimate processes and climate extremes, and the aerosol effects on regional climate and hydrological cycle. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in atmospheric science from Texas A&M University. She earned a bachelor's degree in physics and statistics from Chinese University of Hong Kong, where she was the only woman in her graduating class of the physics department. Ruby is an outstanding mentor. She works closely with early career scientists and provides them with opportunities to develop new ideas and excel. She also participates as a mentor to many people through the lab's scientist and engineer development program.

Beginner Computer Class – Join with students of SWCSS in this class. A fun and exciting class for challenged students to learn basic computer skills through the use of special educational games and keyboard exercises. Not only will SEN students learn to enjoy the computer, it will also be wonderful exercise to help them develop fine motor skills. Increase your communication skills by joining this class.
This is my pretty new monitor. I think it fits in beatifully with my $30 garish computer case, old-school keyboard, wireless mouse, and $300 sound system (plugged into my on-board sound card).
One of those rare (for me) moments when I land on a web site and realize that I own a physical copy of one of their major design elements.
It got a bit unwieldy with cables going everywhere, so I put it all in a box. Haven't figured out how to make this thing wearable yet, but perhaps trimming that box down and putting it in a belt attachable box? That gigantic screen has got to go, though...
The beginnings of the Computer Science building, being built on a parking lot in front of the E-Quad.
In the operations center. Feels so modern. I understand why the computer building people decided to make keyboards a tad bit smaller some 10 years on.
My husband brought home a new computer to play with. You'd think I'd have enough with the Dell at my desk and my laptop. But I am enjoying this one as my kitchen computer. It comes in handy when I want to look up a recipe or watch a show while I'm preparing dinner. I guess you can never have too many computers.
I have a rather frustrating problem with my sound. When I turn the volume up, the slider falls back down to zero, all by itself.
I've replaced drivers to no avail. I've uninstalled so much software that my computer feels naked. The problem persists.
This is extremely frustrating.
You've got to love those moire patterns though...
[Update: I'd like to extend a special welcome to those who landed up here after doing a search on the word "naked" - I hope the disappointment wasn't too great...]
While moving, we had to pack away the actual computer desk, so I set up this temporary...thing. Those are practice nunchaku on the table, for some reason.
thanks to Larissa Vacano for the fun tour!
