This almost makes we want to go back to Bonnaroo this year. If only I knew that Andy Richter would be there too...

I got my first full-salary paycheck today, following a year and a half of half-salary, less-than-half-salary, and then piddling unemployment compensation (but thanks anyway South Carolina!). I smiled all the way to the bank to deposit my check today--after, of course, rubbing the smell of money all over myself.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the fact that, yes, I've joined the flock on facebook. In doing so I found out that a few people are stalking fortsanders.net from there. Well, now I know who you bastards are!

These are the middle-aged geeks I aspire to be. Fuck collecting sports cars; I want a $200k LEGO collection.

In quite possibly the best news I have heard this year, Civilization 5 is slated to be released this Fall. Based on a new game engine, Civ 5 will feature a revolutionary hexagonal tile layout. Despite having my spirit crushed by the latest installments of my beloved SimCity and Railroad Tycoon franchises, I'm hopeful Civ 5 will stay true to form.

It's nothing, even by Knoxville standards, but I'll be damned if it isn't snowing (and sticking) in Charleston tonight.

Fullscreenweather.com, a no bullshit weather map (google maps mashup) from the good folks at Weather Underground (the one website where I've been a happy paid subscriber for the last 8 years).
