First journal article submitted

Another all-nighter, but I have reached another milestone by officially submitting my first journal article. The journal is Microelectronics Reliability. The more journal articles I can have submitted and accepted before my PhD defense, the less my committee will question my work and its significance. They know that if has been published in journals, then the work has been reviewed and deemed releveant by others in the field. Conference papers are okay, but they do not undergo the same scrutiny as journal papers.

Here are some pics from a bike ride to the playground a few weeks ago. Anybody who has picked Isaac up before will appreciate the image of the deadweight he is in the swing. The boy just doesn't help you with his weight.

Man, Isaac is so big already. Yup, I to know the rigors of having to write a journal paper. Just getting started, but I know the expectations are high. Wish you the best and hope it gets approved.
