Mark and I wanted to spend Monday at NIST, to check in with Tom Crowley
regarding the calibration of Mark's FinCat sensor, and to generally swap notes with
Dylan, Kate and Paul, and so that Mark could see a little of their part of NIST.
The nearby hotel had no twin rooms left, so I was lucky enough to stay with
Dylan and Kate at Arnett-Fullen
House.
This fabulous netional-trust house is being renovated meticulously and with
technology over and above the call of duty by Dylan and Kate. This photo
shows the new stove. Note the electric kettle that Kate is holding,
and that powers up when stood on the appropriate plate of the stove!
Other wonders include concealed toasters and dishwashers, so that a
modern kitchen looks perfect period.
Herewith also Dylan and his safe. Note the bathroom in the background. When first built, this internal bathroom was the latest modern innovation.
We walked around historic and beautiful Boulder.
This is a view of Boulder from the hills behind, the start of the Rockies.
You could find the tower of Arnett-Fullen House, if you know to look above the
large yellowish building immediately to the right of the tower holding the
microwave dish (right click and view to get full resolution).
We experimented with Kay's new Nikon S620. It takes a picture automatically
when you smile, This was its first automatic picture!
I soon got used to that function.
