People must have spent a lot of time making all of these. More at the site. I just spent a minute quickly choosing stuff I like.

At lunch today, I decided to venture out and try talking to people. Engineers at JPL are very quiet, but nice once you start up a conversation. At least that’s my experience. Not a single person looked at me for more than a second, and none of them said anything other than one person who said, “May I sit here?” and then was silent after that. Is it typical of the adult world for them not to initiate conversation? Anyway, I spoke with David J Oberhettinger, who works with the Chief Engineer and told me about a computer that he worked on when he first came to JPL some 19 years ago. It was near the age of 3-by-5 punch cards, apparently. And he used to be a contractor for Northrop Grumman, but as of 2 years ago, has worked solely for JPL.
