Presented the paper I co-wrote at the #IITSEC conference in #Orlando today. "Leveraging #SciFi Case Studies to Specify Immersive Training System Requirements." - very well received and such great audience participation and engagement. Very fun and looking forward to doing it again.

Nothing like a 5am wakeup call from the new puppy. She managed to pee, poop, and barf in all the wrong places as one would expect. She romped all over the house with crazy puppy energy, and promptly crashed to recharge for the next round.

Couldn't pass on this Russian Vostok Amphibia watch when I saw the great price in Chrono24. I love military watches and the 24-hour dial on this is very cool!
