Since TechNet is a bit slow, I would like to use the chance to give  
an update for my job search status after I left BlackBerry Bev's  
wonderful lab.  I have signed off an offer on contract as a research  
associate at U of Waterloo, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering  
Dept, starting 2015.  My research topic will be advance material  
joining, such as laser welding, etc.  It will be a labrat work to get  
my hands dirty and utilize my material science and metallurgy  
background.  I am consider myself very lucky to have a chance to join  
the team that is well established and well equipped in the this  
country.  I want to thanks all the technet chaps that helped me,  
encourage me in the last 6 month.  Your friendship really made  
difference in the dark time.
I'll keep monitoring the TechNet, just try to learn a thing or two  
from  all the gurus.  However, I do have a lot of ground to cover on  
my new job.  Need a lot of catch up to do (re-fresh my heat  
treatment, ttt diagram, metal processing after 25 years in electronic  
industry, is a lot.  plus all the new composite materials in the  
field...etc.etc.).  Thanks again, my friend.  I wish you all the best  
for the new year! (cheers to a better year!).
