Friends, followers and readers: Thank you for posting your comments online. Here is a recent sampling:

Re: “Berkeley gears up for new era of enterprise with SkyDeck incubator,” Berkeley NewsCenter
Wish we’d had something like this when we were at Cal. Hope to see more resources for entrepreneurs as time goes on.

Re: “College launches new energy engineering major,” innovations.coe.berkeley.edu
Glad to see a technical perspective to public policy, as many of the policy wonks in this field are economists or lawyers. In Hawaii, where the penetration of renewables on small island grids is high, proper integration of these technologies is paramount.
—Jose D., via Innovations

Re: “Berkeley chosen as home for computer theory institute,” innovations.coe.berkeley.edu
Congratulations on winning the Simons grant. It is particularly gratifying to see UCB so facilitated and honored for its leadership on the theoretical side of engineering.
—Neil G., via Innovations
