The First Annual Griff-Hog Day was a big success! The Griff-Hog emerged from his stadium and predicted 72º and sunny weather for the Drake Relays in April. I'll also add that we should start Mondays with events like this more often.

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?"
Invariably (so far) it does not.
