Binaryfusion on location! I'm writing this (and uploading it 2 days later) as I sit outside in 45 degree weather camping out for the UF-Kentucky basketball game. For some reason my laptop doesn't get wireless, otherwise I'd be uploading it now, but it'll have to wait until I get back to my apartment. I'm the only one up right now, as everyone else has fallen asleep even though it's only 3:30 in the morning. I can never sleep in line for some reason, so here I am typing away while my fingers get cold and listening to music on my mp3 player.

This night has been the most interesting camping out experience yet, in all my (3) years of camping out for Florida basketball games. Matt Walsh, came by to drop off some pizza to some of the people waiting in line. He's already my favorite player because he's a great basketball player and always gives everything he has. If you see someone running into a cameraman or crashing over the scorers table, odds are it's Walsh going after a ball other players would have just watched go out of bounds. Which is also why he's the most hated player in the SEC. Well that and his curly fro which other fans find easy to make fun of. Anyways, he brings us free pizza which is always a cool thing. Also my friends got together, and via a very overloaded extension cord, managed to hook up a TV, a Gamecube, and an XBox so that we're camping out in style. Lots of Mario Kart goodness was had. And of course we ordered some pizza on our own, since it's a standard rite of passage to eat pizza waiting in line for Gator basketball games.

And yes, I had a blast in New Orleans over spring break. I don't have all the pictures yet since I still have to get some from my friend, but there'll be a big update in a day or so all about the best spring break I've ever been on.

The world's very first image put on the World Wide Web. It's of this cool geek girl band that sings about nerd guys. The lyrics to their songs are awesome!

Ever wondered where your city's 3 letter airport code came from? A guy wrote a great piece on the history of airport codes, and for example why Chicago's O Hare airport's call letters are ORD.

Are you not satisfied with the size of objects in your life? Well the Internet can solve that problem and give you giagantic everyday objects to use or just amuse yourself with. I've always wanted to show up to a test and use one of those gigantic pencils and see if the professor would say anything about it or not.
