Was back over in Orlando today, since I4 was finally reopened. Of course went to Islands of Adventure to play DDR, and then we ate and to Rocky's Replay to play some Korean 3rd Mix goodness. It was really crowded, but a lot of fun. Man that mix has so many awesome songs that aren't in the US Mix. It also reminded me that the US Mix is a ton easier than the Japanese/1.5 mix, since the US mix is a lot more forgiving at missing steps. I also found out from one of the guys there that there is a 3rd Mix machine in Tampa, so I'll have to check that out maybe 2 weekends from now. As for Rocky's, it was fun, but it's a freakin 2 hour (100 mile) drive from my house, so needless to say it's a bit out of the way.

Looks like the Pluto mission isn't doomed after all, contradicting the news I talked about earlier that it was cancelled.

IBM is going to kick off a multi-million dollar Linux advertising campaign next week. There will be a 6 story tall ad in Times Square, along with other ads around the world. It'll be nice to see Linux in the mainstream. I just can't wait to see a Red Hat or Mandrake commercial one of these days, like there are Microsoft commercials now.
