..probably not, but it can go for a Guinness World Record of "Most software downloaded in 24 hours".

To help achieve this goal, today is "Download Day". To help people check the progress of this undertaking, firefox has a map showing how many download have been made, per country.

I've foolishly neglected doing any kind of research for my journey to England. It seems too obvious. Thankfully, Rough Guides does not make this mistake, and has updated their guide to England. The British-based Telegraph took note:

The Bodega Brew Pub in La Crosse Wisconsin has the greatest slection of beers and ales in, dare I say, the entire midwest. Normally, the flow of good conversation is evenly paced with the flow of good beer and tonight is no exception. It is in this setting that we're talking about life, death...

I guess discovery comes in weird forms. We finally secured cheap flights to Kingston, Jamaica ($140/piece r/t out of Ft. Lauderdale...after taxes...god bless you SpiritAir). My only desire for going there, originally, was to get to a small town called...

Time for my “Tinfoil hat” moment of the day.

I noticed some interesting language in a Reuters article about the surge in transportation usage in the coming years and its effect on global warming. Statements such...

I can admit to being narcissistic; it's an almost cute quality when you have no level of notoriety.

My wife will beg to differ--she's sick of watching me stare at myself as I flex my muscles in front of the bathroom mirror.
