Been about a month since my last post ... a lot has happened since then.

Returned from Beaufort on August 1 to Nashville. Miss the guys at Tri-Command, but Nashville's my home. Went down at visited shortly thereafter, for a couple of days in the middle of August, and will head back again to coincide with their project review in the middle of October.

Attended Ben Stark's wedding and even got to play a song there. Great stuff. The wedding was beautiful (once again at Benton Chapel) and it was a very joyful event. Saw Mike and Jeff and Jacob, and got to talk everything from Jeff's wedding next year to Jacob's aspirations of opening up a coffee establishment in DC to Mike's new job in Tampa.

The iTest approaches and we are ready. A mailer goes out this week to schools and we unveil the new piece of software we've been developing to handle the test and student load. It will be a transitional year but one that will well position the iTest for the next few years to be a fulfilling, enjoyable experience for students and to really penetrate into hard-to-reach low-income markets to get more students learning math.

My brother has picked up an XBox 360 and the world just isn't the same. He has already trashed my records in Marble Blast and is reaching untouchable status in Geometry Wars. He hasn't yet picked up Capcom's campy zombie game Dead Rising yet, but like him, you should go get it and play it if you've got a 360. One of the best games to date for the system.

That's it for now...I'll try not to make it another month before posting again.
