Last night our remote camera arrived from X10 and we got it all hooked up so that we can view who is at the front door from our computer upstairs. It is very cool. After I did my exercises, I looked at the webpages Kelly and Christian have been developing using Microsoft Publisher. They are amazing!

Michael Nahum from Micro Encoder called me this morning. He wanted to talk to me about the possibility of taking a position as an Engineering Manager in Kirkland, Washington. Micro Encoder is a division of Mitutoyo, the large Japanese gauging and metrology company. If they make me a strong enough offer, I will have to take it. I will ask for at least three weeks of vacation with the potential of taking an additional week with out pay if I need it to visit Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita in Mexico. I will also ask that they guarantee that I have at least a year of work if I make the move. My plan is to tell them that we already have a plan to visit Mexico over the holidays and that I need a couple of days off for Saginaw convention. Housing will be a lot higher in the Seattle area, but if they make me a strong enough offer, it will be hard to resist.
