General Update

I’ve been in Florida the past few days for a NASA competition. Limited free time and internet. I saw the SpaceX Dragon mission launch, and forgot to tweet an Inheritance joke about it being the second dragon in space.

Meanwhile, trying to get stuff in order for my internship. It’s a challenge when I’m in a far-away state.

I haven’t watched much American Idol in the last few years, but each season, I am able to catch an episode or two. Since season six, I have been able to correctly identify which of the final two would be the winner. It’s as if I understand America.

It was clear that Jordin would win. David Cook over Archuleta made sense to me. Each of these two have made wonderful music since they won.

Adam and Kris were hard to choose from, but I went with Kris, and neither have disappointed in their careers.

Lee was more likeable, I thought, and Scotty annoyed me less than that girl he beat. And this season sounded better than the last two, and there hasn’t been a female winner since Jordin, so I went with Phillip Phillips when I saw an episode for the final 7-ish.

Found out just now that the streak continues.

I still can’t believe that I got a job offer from Boeing yesterday. Software engineering internship, here I come.

Lets be realistic,

If the Falcon 9’s flight computer can sense an abnormal engine pressure and abort the launch almost instantaneously thereby saving a multimillion dollar piece of hardware, as it was DESIGNED to do. That’s pretty impressive. Not a failure in my book, just good engineering.

Yeah I do agree with that actually, I was just being snarky.

Mission fail, engineering win!

And if the next launch attempt goes according to plan, I’ll be there to see it!
