I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key.

Just a quick note to all of my daily reader:

You may not realize it, but today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the Pac-Man arcade game. While he's been joined in arcade form by his lovely bride, son, super-powered alter-ego, and a host of pathetic retreads, the original will always be loved and adored by many a fan.

Google, of course has a doodle honoring Mr. Man up today. Typically, these things are kindof lame, because it's usually "celebrating" some boring poet nobody's ever heard of, or some crap like that... but Pac-Man finally gets one in the "W" column for the cool guys.
Super Bonus fun-time: The Google logo is a fully-playable version of the game. Enjoy!

Sick of paying for broadband that you have to, well, pay for?

Given the way that I've been treated by those fucking hacks at SBC lately, I'm almost pissing myself with anticipation over this TiSP thing. It would be the number one thing on my list to do today, but I've got to go to church first... so I guess that makes it #2.
