Back from Bonn and Darmstadt


Was in Bonn Germany last week for a meeting related to Test Cell Instrumentation for turbine engines. On Friday gave a talk at the Technicshe Universitat Darmstadt at the Center for Smart Interfaces on "Experiences with Phosphor Thermometry". The hilites of that day for me included having lunch with two professors (my hosts) hearing a description of their work, and touring their lab. On the previous Sunday, I stumbled upon Beethoven's birthplace. It is now a museum. I was alone and so could stay as long as I wanted. Was there three and a half hours. Had a wonderful time. What would music be like now if there had never been a Beethoven?
