I had a crazy sense of Deja Vu today as I first read this Penny Arcade Comic. Then I popped on over to Ctrl-Alt-Del and read this comic. It was pretty strange to see them both focusing on the exact same subject. However, I too am starting to get annoyed at the Halo 3 Mt Dew commercials, however fun they may have been to watch the first dozen times.

Kudos to Tycho for today’s quote as he spoke of Mountain Dew:

xkcd has this one for you:

On 2 Sept I mentioned getting up at 0500 to get some pictures at sunrise. I’d been wanting to get this pictures all summer, but I kept forgetting to take them. Here are the first ones I’ve uploaded to flickr:

I absolutely love this guy’s work and this is one of my favorite pictures of his. Definitely follow the link and come check out the rest of his stuff!

Got up at 0500 today to take some sunrise pictures. (I’ll have pictures up later today or tomorrow) I cannot believe how many people were up and awake on a Sunday morning at that time of day! It’s not as if it were as many people as it will be later today, but I’d have to say it was probably thirty times more than the number of people I expected to be awake, namely just me.

Finally went through what I needed to do to get the permalinks working on my blog! Now you can have nice URLs for my post which are easier to remember than before.

They’ve gone from: /?p=950

to give an example from my last post.
