Matt. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MATT AND KATIE! My brother Matt sends this: So maybe all those hours spent watching scifi movies has paid off. For our eletronic media class we had to come up with a new technology. So here was mine. An new technology that could be beneficial to develop would be a world

More thumb-twiddling. I had my first interview for the other job today–the QC one. Again, no news. Funny.
