I have a way of just being ice and just cooling situations and making things work.

Back in the '70s - I remember the '70s: we were told there was global cooling. And everyone was told global cooling was a really big problem. And then that faded.

I used to build my own PCs... and actually had one of the first water-cooled, overclocked PCs around. I ran it at over 4Ghz, and this was back in 2001... but alas, I do not have the time for that fun anymore.

They're trying to put data centers in cold environments because they're actually generating so much heat now; they're using up so much electricity.

Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them.

In the 1970s, the scare was about global cooling.

I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.

My power is the ability to control water molecules and form them into ice.

My first project was to build an ionization gauge control circuit for Professor Edgar Everhart's Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. In those days, vacuum tubes were the active components in electronic circuits. I can still recall the warm orange glow of the vacuum tube filaments and the cool blue glow of the thyratron tubes.

I've spent quite a bit of time working on wind turbines and exploring control systems and photovoltaic and integration system.
