The official US Dance Dance Revolution pads were released today, so I have my ordered at Gamestop.com since none of the local stores have it, and it was the first place I found it online. I should hopefully get it in either Thursday or Friday.

Kuro5shin.org has a really interesting essay about what exactly is reality and the importance of communities, online and off, in the age of the corporate media. There are some great comments in there, and it'll really make you think.

Sometimes I think it'd be nice if it were against the law to use English measurements and instead were forced to go to metric. Britain certainly shares this motive, by prosecuting someone who tried to sell a pound of banana's. If the government would just only teach little kids the metric system, and have all government things in metric, then within 20 years we'd all be used to the metric system, and life would be a lot better.

The New York Times has a neat article on the Three Hat Problem. It's a mathmatical brain teaser that, simple at first glance, is actually pretty complicated and there are still some things left to discover and figure out about it. So if you ever wanted to be famous, just think really hard and crack the puzzle.
