Oh how sweet it is. Victory on the softball field tonight, and it was my first time pitching in many, many months. Apparently, the time off did me good. I was more confident and had better control than my previous trips to the mound. There were multiple one-two-three innings with fly outs or ground outs all the way around. Good stuff.

Here are our pics from Big Sur. Lu's new camera takes nice shots!

So surfing around the net this evening, I've stumbled across a rather amazing phenomenon. Over at digg.com, a user revolt is in progress. It seems that sometime yesterday someone submitted a site that contained a string of numbers and letters that is the code to crack HD-DVDs. Soon after that the company that owns the code told the digg.com owners that they were in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Since digg doesn't want to get shut down because of this stupid law, they deleted posts that contained the key. This set the users off, bigtime. In addition, it turns out that digg has taken HD-DVD as a sponsor in the past. Digg users are angry at the censorship by the digg administrators and in retaliation the users have filled up the entire story que and front page with joke submissions about and containing the code. The result is utter mayhem, and it will be very interesting to see the aftermath. Oh and as usual, Metafilter fucking nails it. That third comment is GOLD Jerry, GOLD.

Here's some more bizareness: 4/29 Truth! I can't tell if it's serious or a joke, but it is definitely a rather interesting look at the MacArthur Maze fire over in Oakland on Sunday morning. Careful where the links on that page lead you. Could end up on a government watchlist.

And if you need to tell yourself something in the down the line FutureMe can help.

digg update: as of 10:45, digg is unreachable. Also, here's a blog post from the founder from about 2 hours ago. Oh and here's a kitten with the key and the cracking code, in tune form (~wipes tear~).

Maze fire update: New info has come to light. Turns out it was all Ikea. Obviously.
