Posting this for two reasons. One, I love seeing genre mashing, and this qualifies certainly. I also have been listening to the melody of this song for a few weeks but I didn’t realize what the guitar melody was from, even though I know this Pixies song.

I have Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade playing right now and just saw the scene where Henry Jones (Indy’s dad) shoots down their own plane by hitting it’s tail with the tail gun. In the process of googling whether that happened (I seem to remember a sync or other device being in planes to keep the gun from firing into the tail), I found this article showing how a F-11 Tiger test pilot managed to shoot down his own plane… by catching up to his bullets.

Holy crap.

Steve alerted me to a new service CNN is offering. Take a look:

See the little t-shirt icon next to some of the headlines. Yes, they’re selling t-shirts of their headlines! No, not kidding. See:

First, here’s the commercial for reference:

So, I’m working on some code that has a class called “CoolSpottersWizard” and it’s in a file called cs_wizard. Every damn time I have to switch to that file, in my head I say “Wizaaaard!” like the guy does in that commercial.

I’m not sure what it says about me, but I think it’s weird and funny, so I thought I’d share. Now, I’m going to go back to working on my “Wizaaard!” code.

I just noticed today that Firefox 3 is available in Gujarati. Even better, I could still read the word “Gujarati” in Gujarati (only because the letters are close to Sujal in Gujarati and I’ve known how to write my name since I was in grade school. )
