Since there has been a lot of negative things going on in my head over the last couples weeks, I thought it might be a good exercise for me to list out some of the cool stuff that’s happened (or I’ve seen) over the last few days. More on the negative stuff later.

• The Minus the Bear website has a link to a video that a fan made for “Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse“. A very entertaining video for an awesome song.
• Walking Concert. Run to Be Born is a good album, but what’s even better is that the website has a link for people to request the song lyrics if they happened to purchase one of the first pressing cds, which was missing the lyric book.
• My 8am soccer game was rained out this morning. I still had to get my ass up at 6:45 to call the rainout number, but at least I didn’t have to go out and play. This was particularly good new because some of our key players were going to miss this game. So no soccer for me this morning. w00t!
• Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I’m still not finished with the game, but I recently acquired a jet fighter like the one from True Lies. Now if I can just fly it to Mars to find Kuato.
• $5-10 6-person tables at Party Poker. I’ve been playing them all weekend, and I’m up over $500. If I ever hit a bad streak on these it’s really going to hurt though. I think the loose play on these tables is roughly equivalent to the play in Lake Charles. Seriously. I had a J4o cap the first three rounds of betting to my pocket aces with a board that went 10-8-5-2-K. I guess once you bluff $40 into a pot you might as well bluff another $40. Right.
• Slashdot has a link to an interesting interview with Bill Gates. The funny thing to me about this is the slashdot comments. I like to read slashdot every now and again to remind myself why I dislike the majority of the linux community. My favorite quote is in reference to Gate’s contention that Microsoft can react to security issues faster than the linux community:

  “Gosh that’s true, Bill. The Linux system actually keeps millions of people on standby to deal with problems.”

  The funny part is, this comment isn’t mean to be scarcastic. Some jackass truly believes that there are millions of linux developers out there just waiting to fix problems. Just like the college radio dj who believes that “thousands” of people are listening to his 3-4am timeslot show.
