One Of Those Days...

You know the kind. The kind where you are brushing your teeth in the morning about to step out the door and you remember taking a shower, but you aren't 100% sure that you used shampoo? (I did, but I had to think about it!).

Yesterday at about 2pm I decided to create a poster for the Top Turns 10 symposium. The top quark was discovered 10 years ago, and this is a small celebration of that fact. I had to dig around for a few hours to find some pictures from the 1995 era, and then generate the text and layout for a 42x42 inch document. I was up until about 3am doing that. The print dead line for the poster was Friday. Ops. Fortunately, the folks in the print department at Fermilab have been very accommodating.

This poster has no science on it. It is all memories. While there are a number of references to other things going on at the time, I'm pretty sure most non-physicists will be able to get something out of it. You can download the PDF. But be warned -- it is large (about 3 megs). Further, at least on my computer, it takes forever to render.

Depending on the comments I get I may excerpt the text to the blog, which means you'll get everything but the pictures. ;-) Or maybe I'll have to upload those to my flckr account too. ;-)
