Mark's Log

Yesterday on the way home from work I saw KTHXBYE and "G8   GT" (It was the kind of care they were driving).

 

On the way to work this morning, I saw one that was something to the effect of, "ALCHMST" as in an Alchemist. Jerk cut me off, too.

 

Bonus unlrelated plate that I've seen around: "1UP".

 

 

Someone parks where I can see there car a couple of times a week. Their license plate? SATAN. Ok... I mean, I'm not really offended or anything, but who puts SATAN on their license plate? Are they claiming to be Satan? Did they win a bet against him and now they are driving his car? Do they drive around armed to the teeth in case an overzealous Christian decides to remove them? Whatever, it just struck me as extremely extroverted, whatever other reasons exist.

 

Which brings us to the person who nearly ran me off the road today. They were driving some kind of really nice blue sporty car, no front license plate. They were going way over the speed limit. Their license plate, as they swerved around me (because ~65MPH or so just wasn't enough)? EVILDOR. Wow.

Because you can't just search on "Windows 7" and "Hyper-V" or "Hyper V". Nooooo. You have to know to search on RSAT.

 

 

The amount of lore available in this universe seems similar to the Warcraft universe.

The video is well worth watching. I always enjoyed the idea of this game (even with pen and paper) but always found the heat management frustrating. Still, from the video it looks to be very well done.

I watched Up with my kids and it flat out devastated me for about 95% of the movie. My kids didn't notice, I don't think. Just when I thought the movie couldn't make me any sadder, there's this. I don't handle stuff like that well.
