Natural Science Forum / Physics / Optics / September 2005Senior Optical Engineer Position Available
There is an open position for a Senior Optical Engineer with sensor and subsystem experience at a company that has done great work for me. Please see http://www.coastalopt.com/corp_08.asp for more details. This is a great opportunity to work for a medium size company with very talented people that is growing quickly. The best part is that it's located in a great place in Florida. If you're tired of the high cost of living in California, Boston or the D.C area or just sick of snow in the central plains, you should probably check this out.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >James Carter >http://www.jacarter3.com Considering global warming and the two hurricanes, are you sure of your choice of Florida ? :-) Jim Klein Given earth quakes, outrageous taxes in both sales and income (Florida has no state income tax) and all of the fruit, flakes and nuts, are you sure of your choice in the LA basin? I live half a block from the Atlantic in a 3/2 on a quarter acre with a large backyard and a 31 x 15 foot pool. My mortgage payment (PITI) is less than $800 a month. As for hurricanes, well it's a choice beween fires, earth quakes, tornados, blizzards and hurricanes. I believe that LA has two of these hazards as I watched Topanga Canyon burn all the way from my house in Redondo Beach while at TRW. I can't think of any place with any quality of living that doesn't have at least one. The great thing about hurricanes is that you know many days in advance and can do something before it falls. BTW, Florida didn't have two hurricanes. We had four in 2004; Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. The Katrina and Rita influences on Florida was just enough to wash the dust off of our Humvees so they don't really count. As for "global warming," you know that just some liberal, tree-hugger's rant to get attention. No one has ever proved that man kind's activities have ever impacted the global climate. In fact winters are getting colder ;) > Given earth quakes, outrageous taxes in both sales and income (Florida > has no state income tax) and all of the fruit, flakes and nuts, are you > sure of your choice in the LA basin? <snip> I wasn't going to respond, especially since I have dealt with Coastal Optics and am impressed with the company. That said, living in Florida was no great fun. I lived on the Gulf coast for about a year and a half. For those who think living in the land of sun is such a great alternative to snow, I recommend going there to visit for a week or so in August. I could go on....  SignatureAndrew Resnick, Ph.D. Department of Physiology and Biophysics Case Western Reserve University Andy, The Atlantic coast is a lot different than the Gulf coast where I grew up. This is due to a steady ocean breeze off the much cooler ocean. It is typically 5 degrees cooler at the beach in Indialantic than the Lockheed Martin MFC campus in Orlando. As for hot August weather, the summer I spent in Rochester as an intern at the big yellow box (Kodak) seemed even hotter, to my surprise, than any I enjoyed in the FLA sun. Maybe because AC was not common there... Now I would certainly enjoy living in the SF bay area as I loved the city and the coastal mountains, but who can afford to live there? Maybe Steve Jobs and Neil Young, but not me.

Everyone has > their favorites. Because of the snakes? I know Guam a little and that's not my idea by any means of the famous Garden, unless you count the post WWII invasion of this island by a species of snakes, imported from New Guinea. The nightmarish brown tree snake to be precise: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/publications/zoogoer/2000/1/curingguamsnake.cfm If Guam was Eden, everything considered, Adam & Eve had the right idea. The Bible does not mention a huge US Naval Base in the Garden either. > If Guam was Eden, everything considered, Adam & Eve had the right idea. > > The Bible does not mention a huge US Naval Base in the Garden either. Nor does it mention sweatshops, lytico-bodig (a nervous disorder similar to Parkinson's disease) and achromatopsia. See Oliver Sacks' "The Island of the Color Blind" (optics at last). > For those who think living in the > land of sun is such a great alternative to snow, I recommend going there > to visit for a week or so in August. The South Florida annum is 7 months of paradise (Oct-Apr) followed by 5 months of gratitude for air conditioning (May-Sep). I'll take a Florida summer over a New York winter. The blizzards have their attraction, namely killing off all lower life forms. As for tornados, we never had to abandon a city because of one, or name it after my mother-in-law. |
