Dexter!

Dexter (Dan's autononmous robot car) made it into the Grand Challenge! Go Team Ensco!!!

You can follow the race online on Saturday if you're a big geek. If you're an even bigger geek, I'll see you there! Dan's guys are all in bright yellow (and I do mean bright), so you can't miss them.

One website had them listed as "long shots" that suprised everyone by performing well enough in the later rounds of the qualifying event to get included. I just think they're the underdog. And everyone loves to root for the underdog, right? Dan's been working very hard on this for a while now, so this is very much a validation of all of his efforts. I'm totally proud of my guy. Hooray!!!!

(and if he wins the $2Mil, I've been promised that there's yarn in it for me. Just sayin....)
