Ow... Poor Kid.

Kid had a freak accident at school. Tripped on a ball, fell backwards, and smacked his head on a hard log. Luckily he hit a flat part versus the corner, but the impact was still significant to cause a deep laceration. So, another visit to Urgent Care.

Not going to show a close up of the wound... it was enough to traumatize Emilia.

Several staples to close up the wound and several popsicles too, to calm kiddo down.

Emilia has a lot of empathy. She was crying the entire time Liam was getting stapled. Poor kids!

Good news is no concussion and kid is fine, acting his usual self, other than his head is swollen and the area is sensitive. Hopefully this will heal up fast.. in the meantime, he refuses to wear anything but button down shirts and we are keeping him low-key until he is healed.

New Beginnings... to Global Domination

Week 5... and new beginnings are forming... A departure to what I have been doing the past 15+ years... I will be moving into the realm of satellite communications, high-power, RF (Radio Frequency), wireless technology!!

ViaSat-1 Satellite

I have been offered a position in test development at ViaSat Inc. They just launched their ViaSat-2 satellite recently, and yes, their simple mission is essentially global domination.. to provide global communication and access. Imagine the impact it can have, for everyone, everywhere, 3rd world countries, to have access to information and knowledge, be self-sufficient to learn and improve livelihood.

Not only commercial communications, but also military and government.. to keep troops and law enforcement with better means of remote and stable communication access under critical situations (thoughts are with Vegas right now).

The past several months... actually, heck.. the past year has been filled with up and down challenges with the uncertainties of the job. I enjoyed very much what I was working on, seeing my career change and grow with more responsibilities the past several years, and facing a lot of work challenges. While the career growth was great, the company was not. I worked for my team, but was disheartened by a general callousness of a company focused solely on profits for the higher ups.

ViaSat-2 Satellite

ViaSat-2 recently launched on June, 2017, with the world's highest capacity communications satellite.

I was inspired by friends and former colleagues that found new frontiers in biomedical tech companies, in companies with philanthropic missions, making advancements for the benefit of mankind. I'm hopeful for a new company, a new direction where my background can still be utilized and I can place my contributions towards a beneficial cause, global communications and support for STEM education.
