Hands on with Santa Claus

So as part of my rotation I have had the amazing experience of working directly with a team, that works with a team, that works with a team, that works for Santa Claus. Those teams have been hard at work for the past year or so developing some amazing proprietary technology for Santa’s sleigh.

We all know that traditionally Santa has had a rather old fashioned sleigh pulled by his reindeer, but the reindeer are getting old and so is Santa and so GE has solved some of those traditional problems. Some of the new features include OLED lighting, RFID Asset tracking (for Santa’s many gifts), and much more. Another cool thing is that most of this stuff is in development or has been developed by GE already.

An IMLP Winter in California

Well, with Hanukkah upon us and with Christmas and New Years around the corner, I couldn't help but think about what the weather is going to be like in New York when I return for the holidays. As of now, it has rained for a grand total of 5 days spread across the entire 5 months I've been out here in California. The coldest it's been was around 40 degrees, and that's only at night and early mornings.

I am a winter person. I went to school in upstate New York, Syracuse University to be exact (GO CUSE!), and right around now, I would be trudging through 6 inches of snow to make my way to my last final of the semester. So naturally I miss the white stuff, especially because there are three small mountains within 45 minutes of the campus to ski on whenever you want.
