Last night, I was struck by an odd desire. It’s not the sort of desire that will put me on any watch lists, but it was a desire I’ve not felt in quite a long time.

You view it everyday, and sometimes you probably don’t realize how just of an important a program it is. It’s not your e-mail client, nor AIM or any of your other chatting programs. It’s your Operating System, and Microsoft’s newest release is what I’ve been testing for the past few days.
It’s called Windows 7 and is the successor to the often-maligned Windows Vista.

I ran my first 5K this morning. It was pretty exciting and a bit rough at times, but I managed to make it in just under 30 minutes. It was really great to be out early in the morning, enjoying nature and exercise with a wide variety of people.

After a long campaign, my good friend Nate has finally won the position of student body president at Western Michigan University.
Comet Nine and I helped Nate’s campaign by designing his website, and we were surprised to find out just how influential a strong web prescence proved in the election.
Congratulations to Nate and Janine, and best of luck in the year ahead at WMU!
