THURPM - end/beginning of an era! Quark Bar, Los Alamos 5:00 PM 1/10/08

[Steve Smith]

Fellow FRIAMers and other friends -
  ( http://www.friam.org )

You are all cordially invited to join us at the Quark Bar in Los  
Alamos (1789 Central Avenue) on Thursday 1/10/2008 for the first ever  
meeting of THURPM.

We'll be drinking beer, wine and spirits rather than coffee, however.  
With any luck and enough participation, we will make this a regular  
event to complement FRIAM itself... all that coffee at FRIAM will  
maybe help with the Math hangovers acquired at THURPM!

As many of you know, this Thursday, January 10, 2008 is my last day as  
LANL chattel.

Literally 27 years (to the day after I arrived at LANL) I've been  
sprung!

It is also the first day of the rest of my career.

I am not alone, some 450 other survivors have fled from the ship along  
with me, perhaps a few of you on this list!  Dave Modl, another LANL  
survivor and fellow Visualization Scientist has joined me in this  
flying leap into empty space.

We probably aren't quite ready to give all the details of our next  
plans, but at the very least they involve work with WorldScape NM,  
RedFish group and the Santa Fe Complex, and UNM HPC/ArtsLab.  They  
also include plans to build a commercial Visualization Facility at the  
Los Alamos Research Park (aka Motorola building, on the floor above  
Hot Rocks Cafe, in close proximity to the Synergy Center and, the  
Institute for Advanced Study and the New Mexico Consortium).

Steve,

By golly, I just checked my calendar & found that 5:00pm tomorrow is open.
See you there to help you celebrate one of the smarter decisions in your
life!

;-}

Good on ya...

Just to add flavor to the pot... Jim Smith might drop by... we can  
pretend I'm going to work with you and watch him turn white?
