John has a link to pictures and a map from the F1 Tornado that struck the ISU campus yesterday. Fortunately damage was mostly to the trees and a few buildings, with only one injury requiring hospitalization, according to the ISU Daily.
Today marks my parents' 35th wedding anniversary. Congrats Mom & Dad! For those of you keeping score at home, this means I narrowly missed being a bastard by nearly six years.
One of the best shows ever on TV goes out with one of the best finales I've ever seen, making us laugh through tears and feeling sad and hopeful all at the same time. I'm going to have the music from the last several minutes in my head for days. Fortunately, Holly already purchased it from iTunes, though you have to do the whole album (which is great) to get it.

There's a great deal on Canon's ZR300 camcorder at Dell, it supports widescreen shooting, comes with a remote control, and can be used to capture analog video to digital through your computer's firewire interface. It'll work great with iMovie on a Mac, as well.. There's a review here. First, add the camera to your cart.
Next, add something cheap to your cart to get your total over $500, like a $9.86 ethernet cable.
Now, apply coupon code JQWFN3RR7NJ?F5 to save $60.
Then, apply coupon code 2S32?67G18S33Q to save 25%.
Now, print out and send in this $50 rebate.
Total cost, after rebate, free ground shipping, and no tax (at least for me) will be $278.10. Since list price on this camera is $499, this is a great deal...
If you want an even lower-cost deal on a JVC mini-DV cam, this one is also from Dell.
I've upgraded this blog to beta 3 of Movable Type 3.2, and everything seems to be working. I like the new look, and the whole system just "feels" a lot more robust. Now we'll see if the junk filtering does a good job of reducing the amount of trackback spam I clean out daily.
