When my mom was in high school, her family had a foreign exchange student live with them. Her name is Sinni and she is from Finland. Well, she has been here in the States since the beginning of the semester. Yesterday was her and her daughter's last day here, so we went for a quick plane ride. We left at 5:00pm and got up to Cleveland right at sunset. It was my first time to Burke Lakefront airport. I've gone there in flight sim, but it's not quite the same. The buidings are so much closer to the airport than flight sim shows. Even crappy old Cleveland looks sweet at sunset at 500 feet. I thought they were going to get some pictures, but they apparently forgot. Oh well. I love flights like this because it reminds me why I'm putting so much time and effort into this profession. There's nothing else in the world like it.

I know it doesn't look very different, but it's running on 2.4 pro instead of 2.2.1 free now. Much more features, so I will be expanding my site. The features section has already been touched up. Also upgraded to RSS 2.0 Will do more later.

Quake 4 came out recently, if not today. Those of us who went to Quakecon already played it a little. Maybe LAN Party friday night to try it out?

Back in Spring Semester of 05, myself and the other flight team officers looked to each other and set a goal for our team. We decided that this year, we were going to do well enough at the Regional NIFA Safecon Competition that we would be invited to the national competition. The KSU flight team has not been to the national competition in 19 years. So, let me tell you that this was no small feat; to revamp the team, practice, learn, and keep up with everything else in our lives. A lot of you all know that I haven't been around a lot for a while. This is why. October 9-16 was the Regional Competition at Western University in Battle Creek Michigan. It was one of the best expiriences of my life. It was cool to see all the other teams and planes and talk to them. It was also really cool to see our team come together from almost nothing and perform so well. Usually 3 teams from our region (about 7 colleges) make it to the national competition. This year they were only going to take the top two. Western Michigan always wins first. Ohio State University always wins second. The third place spot is always fought for. Last year we lost the third spot to Ohio University by 6 points out of hundreds. This year Ohio State University is hosting the National Competition, so it turns out that they go to nationals no matter what. This means that there was still a spot even with W.M. in 1st and OSU in 2nd. Well, this year we worked our asses off all semester and all week. It came down to the awards banquet Saturday night. Our hearts on the line as they announce each of the top 10 winners of each event. When it came down to it, the Kent State University Precision Flight Team....came in second place! We even beat the "unbeatable" Ohio State! That means that the only reason Ohio State will be at nationals is because they are hosting it! It's so awesome! If you work hard enough for anything you can do it - ANYTHING!
