Well, this hasn't been updated in a while, so I'll jump a bit to this week rather than try to catch up.
First of all... in theory I'll blog about the November elections. In theory.

Wednesday proved to be a very long day for me. First of all, I've started working at Griffith Observatory. Since I don't know what all I can say on that, I'll go minimal route. The observatory is awesome and I can't wait for it to be open. I'm looking forward to it being completed so that I can check out more of the place, and I recommend everyone to check it out once it opens later this year.
As for my feelings on the job itself.... Dr. Krupp and a member of FOTO really got me looking forward to working there as a guide. There's just an energy about the place that is really motivating. The subject matter is great, and its such cool stuff. Even the stuff that isn't new, like the Tesla coil, which is just classic. No idea when I start, but I'm looking forward to it none the less.

Later Wednesday was also my chance at Jeopardy!. They've been doing trials online, and so I gave a shot at the college try-outs. No idea how I did, but I felt fairly good with it. Of course, they won't tell me how I did... but with luck I'll hear from them in the next month. I'm not holding out hope though, since I figure they must've gotten so many people trying out. But one can dream.

Today was my first real act as President of SPS, so that was interesting. First meeting of the year, and we did manage to get some new people to show up at least for one meeting, now its just seeing if they return. Also got what was to be expected, which was a lot of ideas that have come up before without a commitment to action behind them. Still though, I aim to try my best to make this a good year for SPS.

There was an awesome fire on the way home today though. Not awesome in how it took an hour 20 to get home, but it was cool to look at. Its right on the northern edge of Newhall Pass... more on the 5 side definitly, but I could see flame on a ridge from the 14. There's been a fair bit of burning in Santa Clarita the last month or so. Such is summer. Or fall. Or whatever.

And finally... I've embarked on my most recent grand plan that will never get finished. In order to compete better on Yahoo! sports' pick 'em for college football, I'm trying to determine some mathamatical model to do that better, since I have to worry about spreads and not just who wins outright. I doubt I'll come up with anything, but its something to do.
