Now THAT's more like it!
I just got the information on the hotel where I'm staying for the week or two. Let's just say I'm going to enjoy this! Feel free to check it out yourself!
Mind trip
Maybe it's cruel, but I'd like to insert this in a booklet of assembly instructions just to see what happens.

That has to be the WORST pirate I have ever seen.
File this under things to shake your head at.
The cruise ship eventually outran the pirates' boats, Natansohn said.
Really guys! Get with the program!

Fall in Urbana
As promised, here are a few pictures from this weekend. (Click for larger views of course)
First up, Grainger library where I spent way too much time studying.
Talbot lab, where I took some of my TAM classes.
The Mechanical Engineering Labs where I spent many a happy (and a few unhappy) hours working on projects.
I rather like this shot of the Illini Union. It's always had a rather nice look, and the fall colors really add to it.
The bell tower of Altgelt Hall.
A view of the colors on the quad. The campus sure is sleepy on a Sunday morning.
Looks like the camera works pretty well eh?

Weekend wrap-up
The trip to Urbana went quite nicely. I got to see plenty of folks and had a great time. The camera worked nicely too, so I'll have some pictures of the fall colors on the UIUC campus.

C U in C-U
I'm out for now so here are a few posts wrapped up into one.
I knew it would happen eventually. They'll put anything into a Swiss Army knife. Now it's an MP3 player!! One of these days they'll probably find a way to fit one of these in there too.
Swissbit shows off its latest creation, the s. beat. Which is basically an army knife with integrated mp3 player. Even though the knife part is a bit lacking with just a blade, scissors, and nail file/screwdriver, you get an mp3 player too so who can complain. The s. beat will come in 1/2/4 GB models and supports MP3/WMA/OGG files. It also features a built-in FM Tuner and high contrast LCD Display.
Moving right along
Carnival of cordite #37 is up and looks really good this week. I'm practically drooling over the Ruger pictures.
I just got this ebay link, and although I don't really care for the car (I like my Rosie too much) It might get a doubletake. Not because it looks nice or practical or any of the reasons I usually like a car, but because it is so unusual.
Here's one that's (mostly) for the guys. If reading about gadgets, cars, knives, and guns doesn't give you a rush then maybe you should check out this hillarious little piece of advertising. I don't put much stock in online quizzes, but my score on this one was about what I expected.
In other news I'm trying out the Canon Powershot A520 right now to see how I like it. It looks good so far and it's cheap enough I won't mind carrying it around overseas. If things work out well there will be photos from this weekend.
