I've been watching a lot of The Learning Channel's "Trading Spaces." There's a technology channel (that I can't get without digital cable) called TechTV that should do a similar show called "Trading WebSpaces." Two web teams exchange the keys to each others' server rooms and redesign the websites. Instead of the constraint of $1000 like TLCs hit show, the tech version would constrain each team only to ten pots of coffee. Each team would get a designer type (like my architect friend, Eric, who's offered to help me with my latest endeavor) to suggest stylistic changes. It would be a hit.

CNN: Firefighting community's 'little secret' - States that "no more than 10 to 20 wildfires per year are deliberately started by firefighters." They start the fires either due to boredom or (usually) for economic gain. Great logic. I'm going to set fire to my employer's mail server. That should get me some overtime.
Wow. I'm working on V6, which should have a little more functionality than this site in terms of dynamic content and information. I'm no designer. Everything cool I've designed has been ripped off from someone who knows what colors look good together and how to actually create good websites. I even ripped the music off from DFiVE9. I have no creative talent whatsoever.

Curse my heterosexuality.

Check out the V6 promo animation, if you haven't seen it 18 times already, and bask in my ego. I did it during a bout of insomnia and although it (as well as most of my internet endeavors) was a huge waste of time, I chalk it up to learning experience.

Airline pilots pulled off plane, fail breathalyzer.

50 children feared dead in midair crash over Germany.

Study: One in four fake weapons got past airport screeners

In other news, I got a great deal on a flight to Reno for an upcoming trip. Logic and common sense would dictate that no one gets on a plane for the next fifty fucking years. Or, at least not get a flight that takes off during happy hour. I have better odds of getting on a plane with a weapon than winning a hand at blackjack in Reno.
