I'm going to Goldstone tomorrow to see the huge huge deep space network satellite dishes.
Goldstone is about 35 miles north of Barstow.
http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/features/goldstonetours.htmlDan is leaving for Japan tomorrow morning so I have to get up at 4 something to take him to the Burbank airport then meet people at work for the drive out.
Yesterday i went to an alumni fundraiser thing for MIT and got a nerdy shirt and a lychee cocktail. The last two work days i was at Caltech at a review for a project called NuStar. They are trying to find the next Korn in space.
I also went to a new hire lunch at Caltech and got a tour of the campus and free food. A very nerdy tour.
Monday I went up brown mountain saddle and down el preito on my bike, sunday i went to cherry canyon on my bike. It had a nice view of glendale. I wonder i the mountains over burbank have trails.
I really hope i run into Conan soon.
