Did it wish to play a nice game of chess with you?

I just got a new PC started up, and the first thing it wanted to do was play chess with some Falken guy or somethin'...

I dunno, if the worst case scenario occurs on CERN and it's worse than we think, it may be a bit sooner, lol.

7 Hours war amirite.

Anybody catch the Moon with Venus and Jupiter? It was cloudy that night for me, but the days before and after you can still see the bright light of Venus and the dimmer light of Jupiter there w/ a naked eye.

my neighbor told me about it, saw a few pictures on internet, but missed it live - doh

One goal in my life is to see a total solar eclipse, and the aurora borealis...but it may not be until i'm retired which I think is poor planning...
