On my lunch break today, I decided to do a quick update.

So I’ve officially decided to apply for the Museum of Science and Industry’s Month at the Museum contest. Of the many things required of each applicant, one thing is a 60 second video – telling the museum a bit about yourself, and why you’d be a good candidate. After work yesterday, Chris and I headed over to his place to…
