Its the day after IPO and everyoen at BETA is still buzzing. I noticed a whole bunch of folks had new haircuts.. or beard cuts !!!>. My friends Erick, Noble.. but no one surprised me more than my wonderful friend Ben. Ben was a fixture at Generator before he left to join the other 7 founders of BETA.. Yesterday he shaved off his beard and his   dreads.. I hardly recognized him !!!

Busy daya at work.. Aroudn 4 Idrove home, picked up DIane and we drove to Middlebury for the Vermont academy of Sceicne and Engineering (VASE) Fall Meeting. ..  I really enjoy this group. At our Fall meetign we have. a great keynote, introduce new members  , and make our teacher of the year awards.   This years speaker was Michel Koo DDS ..
