It may take me a while to respond/post/email/etc… (email or phone are the fastest forms of communication for me right now), but I’m still alive. I’ve managed to not quite drop off the face of the Internet, with the occasional Bloglines spree or Amazon window shopping trip. Recently, I’ve been busy with work and getting stuff done for my wedding. C programs, FPGA designs, VHDL, guest lists, and invitation wordings are my life. Only another two more months to go and at least the wedding stuff will be done! If only I could say the same about work… only 44 years to go… woohoo!!!

The other big news around the homestead is that Lauren’s graduating from the University of Arizona in a few weeks! She’s kicked butt for the last 3 years working towards her Masters Degree and will, soon, be coming out to join me in the “real world” of work. She’s been counting down the days until she’s done and has almost nothing to do; she’s worked so hard that it’s about time she lets herself take a break.

I’ve got a few new hobby things going on as well, but not enough time to do them as I want. I bought a souped-up RC truck from a coworker of mine and have been terrorizing the rocks outside of my apartment and my buddy AJ’s backyard (sorry about almost causing a mini dust storm while doing donuts). I’m, eventually, going to design a GPS and performance tracking system for the truck to track speed, distance, acceleration, plot it’s course on Google Earth, measure current draw by the motor, tire rotation speeds, motor rotation speeds, battery voltage, etc… Ah, the dream of having enough time to do hobby projects.
