I’m a little concerned about this walkway. Should I go in?

What the Hell Happened To Crusade: What the Hell Happened?
I stumbled on “Crusade: What the Hell Happened? vol.1” (released last August) while packing, and wondered what happened to book 2. Apparently I’m not the only one wondering that, because it turns out that the website just posted an update last week, saying:
Volume 2 is still a work-in-progress. We will send out a news alert the moment it is released.
Now there’s timing!
Recent Links: Moon and More
- Discovery spacewalk seen from the ground (Thierry Legault, of course!)
- Majestic Snow Batman towers over Vermont
- Ultra hi-res moon. The full-sized image is 24,000 x 24,000 pixels and half a gigabyte!
- Flash Coffee is a product tie-in just waiting to happen! (That F’ing Monkey). It would fit right in with the Central City Track Team shirt.

I keep passing this sign on the way home from work on nights that I take the 405:
After a lifetime of Star Wars, my brain really wants to rearrange the double letters so that it says this instead:

This is the view from one of the escalators in the San Diego Convention Center lobby. One of my friends once referred to it as the “Death Star Cannon” view, inspired by the shot of the inside of the cannon firing near the end of Star Wars.
Update: TicketLeap dissects the technical bottleneck [archived] that caused the weekend’s sales meltdown. (TLDR version: Hostname lookups were turned on in the database, and it was blocking on DNS.)
Beware Mountain Lion (Peters Canyon Hike)
A couple of weeks ago I just had to get out of the house for an afternoon and found myself at the entrance to Peters Canyon Park. The last time I’d been there, the park was closed due to recent rains. This time, it was open.
Several trails run from the entrance around the edge of the park, and one goes inward to an area that’s currently closed off. Because…well…take a look:
I couldn’t help but take a picture. It went so perfectly with this sign I found in Hawaii near the active lava flows: Continue reading
