On my way to Huntsville this afternoon, I felt a constant sense of wrongness, as if I’d slipped into a parallel universe. Granted, this whole week has been a Twilight Zone diversion from normalcy, but the pervasive strangeness was more apparent while driving 80MPH down the interstate. I saw flags at half-mast, countless marquees urging people to pray, or to give blood, but the most distinct sign that yes, indeed this is for real happened on I-20, just before the Alabama state line.

MonkeyNinja Turbo Boosters are GO for a weekend trip to Huntsville for hot LANparty lovin’ and Rod’s wedding.

Amazon.com has posted a Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund page where you can donate money. In two minutes I’ve seen the total donated by $4000.

The World Trade Center towers were designed to collapse in exactly the way they did, so as to prevent even more destruction.

Hmm. “Link this page.”

Here are a few other things that happened on September 11, throughout history. Somehow, I think today’s event will top the list.

More Atlanta Geeks. Check ’em out!

Woohoo! Rod‘s getting all wedded and hitched up to Megan this Saturday.

Just in case you were wondering: Satan’s Kingdom is located a few miles from New Hartford, Connecticut.

This one time, on Battlenet…

Last night I helped Robert build a new character for Diablo 2. So that he could get past the Normal difficulty level quickly, I went in and killed all the bosses for each Act, but let him stand in the room with me so he could gain the quest item. Now, Robert’s character is “Slayer Big_Mistake, the Level 2 Druid.”

Just for kicks, he went to some Nightmare-difficulty PlayerKiller dueling games and started taunting people. He’d run around, threatening to “kick their asses”, and they couldn’t touch him because characters must be at least level 9 to duel.
