Yes, I'm bad about posting.
Not a whole lot of exciting stuff going on. I have a flight test project I'm working on, and so far I've been handling most of the logistics. I'm probably going to be driving a pickup truck to Winnetka in a few days. That should be amusing. I'm sure the police department will send their Abrams tank after me once I cross into town. There were a few high school student camps that the KU school of engineering hosted. Two of them were Project Discovery, a SWE thing to get girls involved in engineering. I gave a couple talks, one on robotics and drove the TALON robot around, and another on airplane design and analysis. Kyle, you can place a FWA! on me for that, but according to Shah I did just fine. At the first one, there were a couple girls really interested in robotics and asked some great questions and enjoyed driving the robot around. At the airplane design presentation one girl asked, "Is there a certain method for designing airplanes or do you just kind of go with it?" Commence preaching from the Book of Roskam. The other two camps were guys, and the first one involved driving the TALON around. One of the kids actually asked me for my card because he wanted to get a student license of AAA. More power to him. The second one we cooked smores at the airport on Dr. Ron Barrett's jet engine. Nothing like 3600 degree cooked marshmallows.
I saw "Talladega Nights" last night. Living in Kansas and having actually been to four NASCAR races at the Kansas Speedway, I think the movie was hilarious. I really liked the sponsorship "Me" with big cougar painted on the hood. Awesome. Alright, I'm going to watch "The Pink Panther" with Steve Martin. Should be funny. I promise it won't be another month before I post again.
