I met with Nick Siemsen and his girlfriend, Vanessa, who began putting together their weather balloon project. Nick set his camera timer and cell phone GPS, and placed all components into a styrofoam box, while Vanessa filled the balloon with helium. After connecting the balloon to the box, we all got excited for the moment of lift off! Everything …
I’m sure you’ve read about that group of MIT students who launched a digital camera into near-space just last month for what they called, “Project Icarus.” Achieving 17.5 miles into the uppermost parts of the stratosphere, they were able to take remarkable photos that quickly swept the web; soon getting recognized on news networks such as CNN, FOX and ABC.
Inspired by the project, Nicholas Siemsen decided to take it upon himself to repeat the experiment. Nick is a Financial Analyst who works right here in Fullerton at Raytheon; and the …

That’s right folks, Kogi BBQ is no longer banned from Orange County and guess what? We even get our own dang truck! Enter: Naranja! Orange County’s very own Kogi BBQ truck, that makes Baby Naranja the 4th humble truck in the Kogi …
If you’ve been anywhere shopping during the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed the signs of another holiday drawing near.
No, not Christmas (although, there are people getting an early start)
It’s Halloween!
For all those CSUF students who love the thrill of being frightened by zombies, ghosts, and serial killers, we know a couple of local places you can check out this season. Of course, nothing really beats the massive attraction that is Knott’s Scary Farm. But maybe you want more personal attention from your zombie and desire a place with less …
