A little while ago Lorraine sent out an email about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, where Mike works. There was a special on the Discover Channel about it. For those of you who missed it there are a number of YouTube videos on it (see below). For a quick overview on what it is that Mikey does over in Geneva, check out the BBC podcast video below.

Amazing stuff really. If you want to see the whole thing, some kind souls have actually uploaded the whole show in several clips. Take an hour and learn all about the Large Hadron Collider.

Update (08/02/2008): A new CERN video is out CERN RAP, check it out

Update: Danielle sent along this funny story about some, well, interesting protesters…

Update (09/07/08): The History Channel is now playing the special on the LHC, here are the details as passed along by Lorraine here. The info is: TUESDAY, Sept 9, at 8 PM EST - HISTORY CHANNEL

Out Sailing

A few weekends ago I had the chance to go out sailing with my parents, Suzy and Forrest, and Danielle and James. It was a great time. The weather was looking like it wasn’t going to cooperate on Saturday, but things cleared up and we were treated to some fantastic wind, even if it was a bit overcast. On Sunday we were greated with some beautiful skies, though the wind was a bit hard to find.

I’m looking forward to many more of these trips as well as a trip out on the powerboat soon!

A few months ago some of us got together to make a batch of raviolis at Fred And Lois’. As usual great food and wine was had throughout the process. We’ve made raviolis quite a few times at their place, though this time we had only a few of the Covati clan there. Click on any of the images in the sideshow to the right to check out all the photos from the event.

The biggest addition, however, was the vacuum sealer, this thing not only did a fantastic job of sealing the raviolis (they’re still cooking up fresh!), but it was great fun to play with! Check out this video of us trying out it’s skills.

Hope to see you at the next ravioli party!

I have moved my personal site to adamcovati.com, covati.com is now a place for the Covati family to get together and hang out.

More coming soon…
