While I also believe this belongs to sage-flame (and please reply there

Did William build a car?  What happened to the skateboard?

Faculty in my department at Berkeley usually take a leave of absence

for a year to start a company.   But that's Electrical Engineering &

Computer Science, not Mathematics.

I suppose if the company doesn't work out, he can use the

car to deliver pizzas.  

Good luck.  I like onions, red pepper.

I thought the latter was mainly used for migrating harddisks or servers.

Or sell the car, riding the feathered elephant for delivery.
