Where did this week go?

This week went by really fast for some reason. It's Friday already. I'm disappointed about the outcome of the election, but I guess we'll have to deal with it. Michael Moore had a fairly entertaining list of reasons why we shouldn't kill ourselves.
Last night I was the only one to attend our officer's meeting (well, Sheng was there, but he had to leave early for a group project). There is so much work to get done, yet nobody seems to be motivated to do anything. They want something to happen, but I need stuff from them to make it work. I am especially disappointed with our web master. Two weekends in a row he said that he would have the new site up by Monday. All he has for over over a month is a design. He is now complaining that he can't do anything until we get the domain working (which it actually is now amesMUG.org). Ok, mister webmaster, that's your job! We need a website for people to get Film Festival and Programming contest information. If I don't see any results soon, I will just do it myself. The programming contest is ready to go, but it just needs some support. Film Festival still needs a budget. We want to give away $800 in cash prizes, and we can't use GSB funds for it, and Apple is keeping things tight looking for a huge return on investment in this project but nobody is willing to do any planning. It seems they just want everything to organize itself as it goes instead of anticipating anything. I'm thinking Film Festival will have to spawn off a separate group consisting of myself and Mark. Okay, enough ranting on that. I am disappointed in MUG :-(.
On the good side, I have managed to organize a trip to the Apple Store this Saturday. Someone from the group will be taking us down in his converted school bus. If you are interested in going please let me know. We are leaving at 8:00 AM from the parking lot behind the Molecular Biology building. We plan on being back in Ames by 2:30. More information can be found here. I might get suckered into getting an iPod.
Ohh, 10.3.6 is out.
Tonight I would like to see The Incredibles. Anyway, I should probably be doing something productive with my time right now.
