The Compuware Arena SCCA Event went quite well. I ran a 41.491 second time, which was better than the average for the day. There was a turbocharged Contour SVT (same platform as the Cougar) all decked out so naturally I talked with him for quite some time. I can't wait till the next event!

On May 8th, 2003, the Mars Global Surveyor took this shot of the Earth and Moon from the orbit of Mars. Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" comes to mind. Even from our close neighboring planet we look small and insignificant. What we take for granted every day is just a tiny speck of a lifeboat in the vast reaches of space.

After ignoring my server for quite awhile, I went downstairs to apply the latest patches/updates. Before I restarted though, I checked the total uptime. I was surprised just how long it's been:

For years now I have admired him from afar, but now I can finally officially say that I LOVE SLAPPY!

For the past 3 days I have been sick. Not just a coughing sick, but the sensitive skin/burning fever/cold sweats sick. Each morning I spit up about a pound of phlem and feel totally exhausted getting up for a glass of water. My mistake was going into work on the morning of day 2 only to find my good friend the fever back with a vengence. This is the third time I've ignored previous experience and returned to the land of the living less than 100% recouperated. The human immune system gets very angry when you ignore it's warning signs. My punishment: the prison that is my house. The first day was alright because it was pissing rain, but these last two days it's bright and sunny out. Michigan likes to play a cruel joke with the sun: while it looks nice out, it's just cold enough so anyone sick that goes out to enjoy it will most surely die a terrible death of pnemonia. Thus I am locked in my house watching "Mad Max" and "Star Trek: TNG" episodes while the birds sing happy songs that taunt me to no end. With that, my sickly (and deranged?) rant is over. With all luck, I'll be back to 100% tomorrow and introducing the birds to my pellet gun.

My second AutoX event at the Saginaw Regional Opener was awesome. Apparently the members in that area are geared more toward the rear-wheel drive platforms, so the track was faster than the detroit one. I hit almost 50mph in one stretch (in second gear) so I was able to use my supercharger to it's fullest potential. Unfortunately, my stock suspension didn't appreciate the opportunity as much as I did and wheel-hopped off a few seconds from each run. Now that I'm hooked on the sport, I'm looking at an Eibach/Koni combo to solve my suspension issues. I'm still not nearly good enough to have reached the limit of my car, but I feel the suspension will help tremendously in getting the power to the ground and reducing my skid in the corners.

AOL Instant Messenger is mine and my friends choice for our IM client. Occasionally, we use the "Warn" feature to try and kick each other off. The warning works as a percentage, and the closer to 100% you get the slower you can send messages. When you finally hit 100% if you get logged off you can't login again for the day. Normally we only get up to about 35% since you can only warn 3 times per user. Enorym, however, has taken the time to find out how to take advantage of the system. Below is what I found after returning from lunch. He had no less than 15 usernames to warn me with.

For the last month or so, I've been watching Pokémon regularly on Cartoon Network. I think mainly because it's one of the few shows I know the times for (8:30 - 9:30, M-F). The mindless action scenes and corny life lessons are also a big attraction in terms of relaxation. When I watch movies, I like deep plotlines and well developed characters. A 30 minute show just doesn't have enough time to properly achieve that, but some try. Fortunately, Pokémon is not one that tries. It's just a simple entertaining cartoon that I currently watch almost religiously. Sifting through my old media archives, I found the Otaku Vengeance Pokémon Video. Good video regardless of your stance on the cartoon.
