It’s really starting to look like fall on campus. The trees haven’t fully changed yet, but they’re definitely starting to show some color. I snapped these photos in between classes today.

The Japanese maples by the Materials Science complex really look neat this time of year.

Just as we’re getting well into fall, I’m getting well into my classes. Yesterday, I spent four hours in the lab, looking at streams of raw bits from a video digitizer board on the logic analyzer. (I now know more than enough about digital representations of analog video and the ins and outs of NTSC, frames, fields, blanking intervals, and so on.)

Looks like it’s going to be a busy quarter, but a good one regardless.

On Thursday, I went to Tillicum Village with this year’s group of education students from Lewis-Clark State College.

I liked how Rainier looks juxtaposed with the cranes.

There’s a neat garden behind the longhouse with various totems betwixt the plants.

Now that the school year has started again, I’m hoping to resume regular updates at Ordered Pixels. Dust off your bookmarks, or better yet, add the RSS feed to your favorite newsreader so you’ll be automatically notified of updates.

I’m pretty well settled in to my new room now. I’m still in the same building and on the same floor, but I’m down the hall and on the other side.

Having a window on the west side of the building provides a lot more opportunities for photographing some amazing sunsets.

I should be posting another set of photos later today.
