Today, my classmates and I joined the 50 Year Club as part of the RPI Reunion and Homecoming weekend. We were invited to sing the Alma Mater at halftime of the football game against Buffalo State.

Things have changed since we were students here – RPI won by 57-13!

In the evening, we went to the hockey game against Miami of Ohio, who beat us 5-0. Oh, well.

Today is my birthday; I celebrated by staying off social media all day so far. It’s been relaxing.

I visited the Apple Store so they could clean out the USB-C port in my iPhone; of course I couldn’t resist looking at the new iPhones while I was waiting, but I left with my trusty iPhone 15 Pro and no regrets.

I also stopped by the Los Gatos Library to pick up the ESP32 case I had them print for me on their 3D printer.

And I took advantage of my Starbucks birthday reward for the first time in a few years – it was easier when it was valid for a week on either side of my birthday instead of only being valid on the day itself.

I should stay off social media more often…but I’m going to head over to Facebook now to wish my birthday buddies a Happy Birthday while it’s still the right day!
