My Personal Blog

This Memorial Day turned out to be a lot of fun. I saw the latest Indiana Jones movie with some friends, attended two parties, traveled to Jupiter FL, met an old friend at the beach, and bought a sailboat. I am hoping that the sailboat will give me a new love for living so close to the water and give me an opportunity to meet some new friends along the way. I am thinking up some names for her and have started a blog for all of the projects, trips, and adventures I will have with her along the way. I will soon link all of my blogs within my website.

Relaxing
Originally uploaded by Stephen Kropp

The past week I have been relaxing in my hometown, Kansas City and it has been great. Seeing my friends and family made me want to take another week off and delay the inevitable trip back to Daytona. I have noticed that the people my age in Kansas City are much nicer than those I meet in Daytona. For now I am going back to the daily grind I have fallen into in Daytona Beach.

I have been looking for a thesis topic and started a research project with two local companies in Melbourne. We are interested in optimizing the software development processes currently employed at one of the companies. The project has been pretty interesting so far and will be expanded in the future.
