There's a DDR machine at UF!!!! W00T!!!!!!!! Yes, my prayers have been answered and this past Friday a 3rd Mix Korean DDR machine was put in the Reitz Union gameroom. It's .75 for 3 songs, and it's a darn good machine except that the pads are a little worn in. And I thought I'd save money while at UF, but now I get to continue blowing it on videogames :) There also seems to be a fair collection of DDR players at UF, and it's really easy to get crowds as well. Thank you UF!

Yipee, someone finally sent me the SirCam worm. Of course since I check all my mail in Linux, I had absolutly zero chance of infection, so I wasn't really worrying about it in the first place. In related worm news, CodeRed started its' infection stage at 8 PM Eastern tonight, but so far it looks like it won't bring down the Internet like over-zealous mass media wanted people to think. It was like Y2K all over again, where the media predicted doomsday and the computer experts were more conservative with the effect of the worm. Now the really scary thing is how many people dont' patch their servers with a 6 week old patch.

ThinkGeek has released several new shirts, including a new version of their old binary shirt. Very very cool stuff.
