I come to bury the Ides of March jokes, not to praise them.

So it was 60 degrees outside yesterday and sunny. I took a three hour lunch break and played ultimate for the first time since July. Wow am I out of shape. That plus rock climbing has left me so sore today.

I did manage to solve a problem I've been working on at the wall for about three weeks... So the climbing went well. But I have proven experimentally that my Triop Genus shoes are both excellent technical footwear and totally intolerable on flat ground. Yowch.

Gah! The launch for Saturday has been cancelled again! Bad field conditions once again will prevent me from launching the Nerd Magnet. Mikkel and I have decided to go to Tewksbury and launch some smaller rockets anyway on Saturday, because we're sick of waiting for a launch.

But in good news, all of the parts for my arcade machine control panel have arrived. This clear trackball is awesome. I can't wait to build it. And I know I've said this before, but the quality of service from Happ Controls is excellent. Also in the great service department is Hagstrom Electronics. They answered all of my hardware questions same-day and offered to send me parts I needed to work with their components, free of charge. How cool is that?
