The rainy season has definitly come to Florida. For those of you not from Florida or who have never been here during the summer, it rains every single day during the late afternoon and into the night thanks to our high humidity. It usually doesn't last too long though, but there's a lot of lightning and rain while it does. Rain on the road at night though has it's own mystic quality to it, I'll have to try to take some wet night shots once I get my camera.

The star wars kid is now $4,000 richer thanks to his now infamous video. How lucky can you get? Once again, only on the internet....

In some good news for me at least, computer science isn't so popular anymore. Good because with the abysmal job market right now, having less competition can only help. But the main thing is that people are no longer just going with CompE because of the money, but because they actually like it. One of the first things most people say to me when I said I was CompE (or well used to before the dotcom crash) was "Lots of money in that field". Which there can be, though not near as much anymore. But it lead to a lot of people just majoring in CS and the related fields for money instead of passion. Now that I'm getting into higher classes, it has definitly weeded out a lot of people who can't hack it (literally :))
