Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day so take a couple of minutes out of your busy day and give a nod to the men and women who keep your furry porn up and running.

This weekend is GoonCon 2005, held here in beautiful downtown Bur^H^H^H New Orleans. For those of you not in the know, a Goon is someone who has a forums account at Something Awful.
Last night baniraramen, Squillis, and I went down to the Bulldog on Magazine to hang out with the early birds. The actual event starts tonight. I have no idea what it will be like but it should be interesting.

This google maps pedometer is the coolest one I've seen in a while. Check out my walk from work tonight to the bar where I'm playing league pool:
