My Lab
As you may know, I am a teaching assistant for this semester’s Digital Design class at the U of I. This is the third time I have helped teach this class. It is an introduction to digital electronics (binary numbers, boolean logic, logic gates, sequential circuits, etc.), and it’s really fun.
I thought you might like to see what my lab looks like. I have about 4 office hours, and about 12 lab hours each week, so I spend quite a bit of time here. It contains all kinds of cool equipment… digital oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, FPGA development kits, and a huge supply of various IC chips.
If you’re ever in the Iowa City area, stop by and say hi! We can hang out and do some electronics stuff!

Can you really not find the spelling error? Look at the first line of the second paragraph. Or were you just joking? : )

Cool! And here I had always imagined it as some dark, dank, yellowed corner, filled with hulking machines….wait, I think I had it confused with all my chemistry labs.

Very nice!! That sounds like a pretty sweet job!
Thanks for the comment on my blog, it was very encouraging. BTW, I like your blog.

Haha Nathan! Chemistry labs are always such lovely places. (Un)fortunately for me, I shall never visit such places again!
Hi Anne!!! Welcome to my blog!! Yep, it’s a super cool job… I want to be a college professor when I grow up, so it’s good experience. I had to get up “early” today though, so that’s the only bad part.

Very spiffy, Jed! Sounds like a neat environment to be in! I am currently residing in my practice room in Marquis, which, right now I’ve also converted into my computer lab. Which means grand piano + laptop = no room!
