After trying a bunch of stuff, I found out that Azureus was causing kernel panics when I was connected on airport, switching to uTorrent fix it.

Heres the kernel panic, for people googling this:

If you have ever laid in the centre of a traffic circle surrounded in small bushes and looked straight up into the air, you would know the following to be true; cars driving around you look surprisingly like dogs running at you, its rather unnerving. In other news the restaurant I went to in mexico had tabasco sauce imported from the USA, which strikes me as rather ironic.

Random thought of the moment, this will be short because I’m off to bed, assuming the terrorists really do hate the freedoms americans enjoy(ed), the Bush administration is doing the best thing possible by eliminating them(freedoms). If america is no longer free, it wont be a terrorist target, right?

After much dwelling on what to call a band if I were to have one, I have decided upon “Topheavy Dishwasher”. It has a nice fullness to it don’t you think? If I don’t have a band, but instead a company that makes stuff or something, I think the same would also work. In leu of any of that, it would make an excellent name for one of my children.

300 + The Matrix + The Ten Commandments = 10,000 BC

Mainly in the areas of map design, but I really thing the series as a whole peaked around 2. It’s just more fun, although that is largely because of the maps, there are other things too. Maybe I just need more time to get into my halo 3 groove, but I don’t remember ever thinking this about 2. Its too clean, too polished, to perfect. All good games are flawed, like any art form. I think after the newness of 3 wears off, we will all see the light and convert back to halo 2. Perhaps on pc

I propose a worldwide irony competition, to find the most ironic persons out there. Of course, anyone with any sense of irony would be immediately kicked out.

Have you ever wondered why we have fake bacon bits and yet no fake bacon? I too have wondered, pondered this great mistery, then about 5 minutes ago the answer hit me; fake bacon bits taste like crap, thus fake bacon would taste like more crap. In doses higher than .1 cc, fake bacon would be unfathomably crapilicious. With this revelation, I now feel like a truly enlightened being.
