Here's some more info on the history of Midnight Madness. Pretty cool stuff, and I'm getting excited. Looking over the game times though, I'll have a microprocessor final during the Maryland game. Who the heck schedules this stuff?
There's artwork in your computer, but it's just a little small to see. There's some pretty good one's there, like this one about getting too close and a nice diagram about how big these pictures really are.
Wired has a great piece on Linus Torvald, creator of the Linux operating system and cult hero to geeks everywhere. He's probably near the top of my list of living person's I would like to meet one day. And to think he started it all as a 21 year old grad student.
And finally, China became just the 3rd nation to ever send
a man into space. It's not as unexpected as it may seem, they've been doing tests since at least
March 2002 on manned space flight. Eventually I think they'll go for the moon, and it'll happen sooner than anyone expects it to. Unfortunately it doesn't look like
another space race is going to get started, so we won't be going to Mars anytime soon. Maybe when China makes it to the moon
we'll feel compelled to do something other than Earth orbital flights.
