I have surprisingly kept busy over the last month. But I think my time of not going to school or work is going to come to an end very soon. I have started applying for jobs. The most annoying part about this process in this area is not being a US Citizen. Companies like BAE, Lockheed Martin etc. that actually do things that would be interesting in the controls world need me to have a citizenship so I can get security clearances. So I think I shall be mostly applying to more commercial software based companies.

Besides this, my to-do list is actually getting some work done on it. Finally getting some work done on this website (yes, yes Ms.Zanuzzo … I AM working on it). Coil Guitars will get a refresh I think. I am not getting a good vibe from its current state, so that should be interesting.

In other news, more meeting of Internet friends happened this last week. I met up with a couple of guys that I mostly know from online gaming and some brief work on a mod. They came down to D.C. to see Obama’s inauguration, so we figured we’d meet up. Red shirt is Matt Reynolds and the one with the questionable scarf is Paul Hiller.
