Put under the most extreme conditions, most memory cards did quite well. Surviving coffee swims and washing machine spins the cards survived under what i would term normal abuse. When extreme abuse was given the cards did -at least mostly- fail. So remember don’t nail your memory card to a tree. While it keeps you from losing it, you will probably lose your the data stored on it. ;)
1st Ever Kuban Super Sprint Triathlon
Today, I and a few other lucky souls got the chance to break-in a new Tri course. The Kuban Super Sprint Triathlon consisted of an 1/8th mile swim, a 5 mile bike ride, and a 1 mile run. While I won the swimming leg, my own legs were so wornout in the biking leg as to make my running leg somewhat laughable. There were some safety concerns about traffic during the biking portion of the course so it will probably be reworked before the next race. My time of 41 minutes was about 6 minutes behind where I had hoped to finish.

l33tsp34k. Or “Elite Speak” as the i-wish-i-was-a-hacker-but- i-don’t-know-anything-about-programming- or-server-protocols-so-instead-i-spend-a-LOT-of-time-in-chatrooms- trying-to-convince-newbies-that-i’m- elite-because-i’ve-got-nothing-better-to-do type people like to call it. You know, dorks. Now before i get lambasted, let me point out that just about anyone that is reasonably proficient with computers knows how to sp34k (3)l33t – it’s just goes with the territory. But most of us read it more than we write it because frankly we don’t have the time to use the shift key that much. It’s all a matter of priorities: are you finishing up that programming project that is due tommorrow morning? rallying a DOS attack against this or that manifistation of “the man”? or are you staring at your keyboard trying to come up with another cute way to represent a letter poorly that everyone else has somehow missed? -shrug-
Anyway, with that introduction i can now tell you about a funny link and a useful utility for those of you wanting to enter the mysterous world of l33tsp34k. Christian Hacker.org has created a new translation of the bible: The New Hacker Version (NHV). Complete with several levels of leet speak. If you follow a link you can translate any text you want into the various levels leet speak (and ghetto too). The following is my title in higher levels. 3nj0y.

Seqway Polo
A nice video capturing the Bay Area Seqway Polo Team in action. Set to music to heighten the excitement.
Death Star
Nasa’s probe Cassini entered orbit around Saturn and began sending back disturbing pictures about what the Empire is doing with their bloated construction budget. Oh, I mean it sent back some pics of the moon Mimas
