Well, I have now ordered the official US Mix of Dance Dance Revolution. I got it from playstation.com, and hopefully it should come in sometime next week. The pads are going to be released April 10th, so I'm hoping I'll be able to find those online, as just playing the game with a regular PSX controller is sorta dumb. But then again, so is playing it via the keyboard on the computer, which I've done tons of times. I'd suggest those who are interested in the game though wait till May 5th, when the game/pad bundle will be released. Then you can save $20 by getting that instead of the game and pad seperately. Plus it'll be a WHOLE lot easier to find then, as at the moment no store I know of near me is carrying it; hence why I bought it online, and yet another reason why I love the internet. If you're interested, here the email (Update: No longer there) that Konami sent to many DDR players on the internet, including me, that explains the pricing schemes and where to get it. Again, I VERY HIGHLY suggest buying this game when the bundle comes out May 5th, as it's one of the funniest games I"ve ever played in my life, and it's an awesome party game too. You won't be dissappointed.

Looks like the MIR crews had some fun times in space. I'm just glad they didn't get too drunk and crash the space station. Drinking and Driving in Space: The Final Frontier. Oh, that reminds me of a cheesy joke. "Are you in Calculus? Then don't Drink and Derive."

Salon has an interesting piece on CD copyright protection in an effort to stop piracy. The problem with their solution though, is that I find it a whole lot more convinent to rip a CD and have it on mp3 format on my hard drive, than to have to constantly switch out discs in and out of the cd-rom drive. Hence, they want to limit the ways I can listen to the music I bought. Sounds suspiciously like the DVD/MPAA/DMCA fiasco, where the movie labels want to control how you view the movie you bought. Will media artists ever get a clue?

Humor page is updated with two more sigs: "Life is fatal" and "A Blackhole is where God divided by Zero."
