Perhaps having a really freakin huge SUV isn't so useless after all. After having his store robbed, the store owner decided to go after the theives in his Hummer, caught up with them, and ran over their car. Like a monster truck rally in real life. Now the question is whether he'll get charged with vehicular assult, since it was no longer self defense, but taking the law into his own hands. It's a cool picture though!

I was reading up on MySQL databases today and found a page where it was describing the various routines and datatypes that MySQL uses, and it starts talking about the "blob" datatype. How can you not love a language that has "blob" as a data type? It also has "tinyblob", "mediumblob", and even the "longblob". See, this is why I like programming, because we get to play with blobs :)

Want to know jow to make ice cream in 30 seconds? With liquid nitrogen of course! From the article he says it's extra smooth since ice crystals don't have a chance to form. Maybe I should become friendly with the physics department and try to get ahold of some...

I got this a while ago, but just in case you ever wanted to see what mail from a tiny South Pacific island looked like, here's a picture. It's from my friend who was in Vanuatu for about a month this summer, and it took about 11 days to get here.
