Life imitating art - truly a classic outcome for the whole Linux sponsored race car: http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/2007/05/linux-car-finishes-dead-last-at-indy-we.html Yeah - so it's a slow news week - I'm glad it is actually. :)

It's official - all of my future coding will be done in LOLCODE. What - you've never HEARD of LOLCODE? It's the official programming language inspired by the hilarious LOL cat pictures found all over the Internet: http://globalnerdy.com/2007/05/28...
