So sad to see you go. I'm going in to work late on Friday so I can hear you on your last day.

This last week has flown by and before I know it, my ride to work will be Melissa-less. I truly hope you will return to radio or some public forum. Please do not keep your wit and talent boxed up for only Katie Joe to enjoy.

Comment on Eric and His Death Ray

I didn’t say “cool” under my breath, I said it aloud! Mr. Jacqmain’s “invention” is remarkable for so many reasons, the least of which is that he took the effort to affix 5,800 tiny mirrors to his "Death Ray" which I'm sure was no small effort. Anyone who has used a magnifying glass to “harness” the energy of the sun has a good understanding of this star's incredible power. I sincerely hope Mr. Jacqmain is considering furthering his pursuit in “thermodynamics engineer”.

Although I am a graduate of Purdue University, should Mr. Jacqmain be afforded the opportunity to attend an institution such as MIT or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I say “go for it”! Some of the most valuable inventions (which are now taken for granted) were a creation of inquisitive minds simply “experimenting” or even resulted by “accident”. I realize that Mr. Jacqmain’s invention was small in scale, but such an idea could result in so many “eco-friendly” inventions such as a way to heat homes and buildings thus decreasing the dependence of the U.S. on fossil fuels.

It is a shame that Mr. Jacqmain’s invention was essentially the source of its own demise. However, I would bet he had thoughts of how he could have completed some aspect of the project differently as he was building the R5800 Solar Death Ray. Therefore, I certainly hope the accident didn’t result in his being too disillusioned to build another device which is even bigger and better! “COOL!”
