So damn, meetup costs $12 a month at the lowest rate. My desire was to start a “Lakeland Tech Creatives” meetup to find others hacking on software/hardware projects. That’s totally a waste of money if nobody here is interested but me. Given that I’ve been here a year and haven’t had much luck finding people up to this point, I think I know how it’ll turn out.

Discovery
The shuttle Discovery landed successfully today. While watching it on local news and CNN I couldn’t help feeling proud to be part of a species that’s capable of such things. One day I hope to contribute something towards that effort even though it’s too late for me to become an astronaut. That job wouldn’t fit well with where I am in life, but I’d love be involved somehow. Maybe it’ll be through embedded software development for robotic devices … who knows.
Qualifications aside, if I had no surviving family or loved ones I’d go into space in a heartbeat.
