• Gonna Run to You

    Wow — so this is going to be quick cause I should be in bed…
    Got up at 6 and went for a run this …er, yesterday morning! 18 minutes running, 6 minutes walking. The moon was out in full force, and the 7 lane road beside me had cars whizzing past every so often. Also, it was Brrrrrr! cold — there’s a big fogbank about halfway through the run.
    Why did I go for a run?
    Cause I need to get in shape badly! After playing Ultimate last Thursday night, I was so dead tired I couldn’t get up on time on Saturday to drive up to Tampa for the Janus ultimate tournament. I was going to try and weasel my way onto a team that needed a player still. Ah well, there’ll be others, right?
    A note about the picture in this entry — anyone tell me where they’ve seen those peppers before? 🙂

  • Homestarrunner.com down!

    Homestarrunner.com — home of Strongbad — is down! It’s funny, I found out because someone posted a comment today on my blog, under a very not-current entry from October 7th.
    She musta come from Google. Turns out I’m the first hit on the second page if you search for “strong bad email”. I had no idea!
    My guess is that they’re changing machines. I think Strongbad has grown too huge for that puny box they had him in! That, or *cue dramatic music* Strongsad finally did him in.
    Update, 8:50pm: Two more people have posted comments on that October 7th entry! One was so kind as to post a link to the new email, but as of this writing, the link was still redirecting to a Yahoo Website Services 404 page (for me, anyway).
    Update: the next day, 6:20pm: Well, homestarrunner.com is *still* down! However, it would appear the owner of homestarrunner.net — a different person than the owner of homestarrunner.com — seems to be in-the-dark about what’s going on, but is offering to help out. Check it out.
    Update: the next-next day, 12:30am: Homestarrunner.net has been updated. Okay, so everyone who’s watched the intro movie knows homestarrunner.net isn’t the real deal — “It’s Dot Com!” — but they’ve been kind enough to mirror the latest email! It’s a good one, too.
    Update: the next-next day, 12:01pm: It’s back up!!!
