Departure
So, my father just left. He had arrived on Thursday to visit me. We went out to eat and I showed him a bit around lab. Overall, it was a very standard visit. Nothing of note occured.

In other news, I have finally found a piece of software to facilitate the monitoring of my computers. I'm using a tool called Hobbit to monitor all of my machines. It is suprisingly easy to set up. I'm still working on how to set up custom tests, but I think it should be pretty straightforward. For a look at what it does, you can take a look at my setup.

Someone has begun to pollute the StumbleUpon information space (further than it already was). This person has introduced "stumblecards" (Idiotic). These things are nothing more than people attempting to grab revenue through ad placement without bothing to provide any real content in return. I advocate giving every single one a thumbs down or possibly google-bombing the stumble-cards tag.

So, today I was going to give blood at the JPL blood drive that happens every few months. I was going through the standard routine where they take my temperature and such, when the person asked if I usually had high blood pressure. Apparently, mine was 142/110. This is problematic. Even just 2 months ago (when I last gave blood) my BP was 124/82. I'm guessing that my high BP is due to stress; this week has been pretty rough. Nevertheless, I set up an appointment with my doctor for Monday.

So, before today I was unaware that Orson Scott Card wrote for video games. Apparently, he wrote the dialog for The Dig. What made me aware of this, however, was finding out that Card wrote the screenplay for Advent Rising - a game that I picked up on a whim from gogamer for $10.

The game is actually very decent. It's a third-person shooter with some RPG elements (mainly skill leveling with weapons/abilities). The game is pretty standard sci-fi fare, but you should be warned that it pulls a XIII (or an Anachronox).

Five-Oh
For those of you who might have missed the news, today marked 50 years since the launch of Explorer I, the frist US satellite. All of the interesting things about the satellite can generally be found in the wikipedia article, but there are some things that the article doesn't relate. Perhaps most notably, there are less than 20 people still alive who participated in the Explorer I project. Most of these people are in their 70s or 80s and I doubt if more than a handfull will still be around for the 60th anniversary.

Unfortunately, I am unsure if our generation will see a von Braun.
