First day onsite at Pratt & Whitney today, with meetings and danish for all. We got a sense of what is going on from lots of people who know and began to get a sense for the facility and the amount of low-hanging fruit and how low it hangs. We also had lunch and dinner covered by a big company, logged in from our private conference room to the corporate intranet, and got a behind-the-scenes tour of upcoming products in the waste-heat recovery and micropower fields at the United Technologies' Research Center. I've grown to enjoy the small-company comraderie and the small-company productivity that make up my comfort zone, but the benefits and resources of a large company have some things going for them.
