Nicole and I headed out to South Bend, and picked up her rodents. South Bend would be a good day drip if there was actually anything to do in South Bend. It's the perfect distance to drive. Long enough that you feel like you've done something of weight, but not so long that you get sick of being in the car. The roads in Indiana are great as well. This begs the question: Why can't the roads in Michigan be that good?

As you go down the turnpike in Indiana, you see cow sensors. Every thousand yards or so there's a steel poll with two focused radar guns and a solar panel. Every few of those signs has a sign and a warning light. I really want to go down there with a big sheet of sheet metal and some spare time. I bet I could get traffic to grind to a halt.

I've done a bit more tweaking on the new layout for the site. As I was talking to Jon about one of the pages, I realized that for the first time in a long time, I can easily debug a site on windows. I'll just swing by the lab on the fifth floor of Pray-Harrold, log into one of the PCs, and get to it. If I bring my laptop I can look at eight browsers on two operating systems all at the same time.

At the end of the evening, I watched Sin City. That movie is great - nuclear powered film noir high on ether and mescaline. I thought Elijah Wood was incredible as Kevin. He never uttered a word, but I found him disturbing and frightful. Between Sin City and the Hitchhikers Guide to The Universe, I have my next two DVD purchases figured out.
