SRJC’s resident felines at The Oak Leaf Online
You’ve likely passed them while walking between classes. Some are black, others are spotted. There are fluffy ones too. They live, eat, and work at Santa Rosa Junior College, and their tuition is free. They are feral cats, and they are serving a purpose on the Santa Rosa campus.
I’m getting too old for this. Seriously. My back is killing me, my butt’s sore, but despite this, I can barely keep awake. What good is waiting till midnight if I don’t have the energy to play?
I’m getting too old for this …
Some ‘tard just walked by on his cell phone, up and down the line, yelling to his "buddy" key plot points. 1. Everyone knows you’re being a jerk, so we don’t beleive you. 2. The guy next to me in line joked early that "blood will be spilled" tonight. He’s probably right …
Did I just call someone a ‘tard? I think the demographic I’m hanging out with tonight is rubbing off on me
OK, I just got out of the line to get in the line (I am not kidding) I’d say there’s at least a couple of hundred people here already. Just crazy. So far, so good, everyone’s in good spirits. Game Stop just handed out free water and chips, which is sincerely appreciated (see, honey, I told you I’d get fed 
)
I swear the kid at the front of the line is Chris Crocker (NSFW)
Arrived about a half hour ago. Just found open wifi (thank you Burger King!). Security won’t let anyone lineup until after 9, but people are beginning to queue. Better get my place
Getting ready for the line:
The blogging machine. Notice all the crap on my desktop, as I struggled last night to enable internet access via my cell phone. We’ll see how well it works tonight.

Home Theater: Designing a Death Star Theater, by Rachel Cericola - Electronic House Cool Home
Super-fans Vic Wertz and Lisa Stevens used to run the Official Star Wars Fan Club and even the “Star Wars Insider” magazine. But even though they’re both out of that business now, they still pay homage to their dark lord and master each and every day—thanks to their incredibly impressive and geeky home theater.

Detroit Auto Show: 2009 Corvette ZR-1 - Jalopnik
These appear to be the best non-engine bay shots yet of the new-for-2009 up-charged Corvette ZR-1 (or SS, Mako Shark, Blue Devil, or whatever folks want to call it these days). Although one thing we do know is if it’s going to be called ZR-1 with that new 6.2L supercharged small-block nuclear reactor powerplant that’s expected to be under the hood, then the name probably could stand for "Zee Really fast 1."

Spy Shots: Chevy Camaro mule caught Stateside - Autoblog
Though it’s been spotted bombing the boulevards of Australia, the Chevy Camaro mule seen in these pictures has not been caught testing in the U.S. until now. Insiders have confirmed this Middle Eastern-market Chevy Lumina SS mule with severely truncated rear doors is indeed a mule for the production Chevy Camaro that will hopefully go on sale as a 2009 model.
You wouldn’t shoot a policeman …
Somehow I missed this article from a few weeks ago. It’s quite fascinating.
Hackers Take Down the Most Wired Country in Europe
In the coming months, commentators around the world would look back at this moment and debate its significance. But for Aaviksoo, the meaning was clear. This was not the first botnet strike ever, nor was it the largest. But never before had an entire country been targeted on almost every digital front all at once, and never before had a government itself fought back. "The attacks were aimed at the essential electronic infrastructure of the Republic of Estonia," Aaviksoo tells me later. "All major commercial banks, telcos, media outlets, and name servers — the phone books of the Internet — felt the impact, and this affected the majority of the Estonian population. This was the first time that a botnet threatened the national security of an entire nation."
