Geminid Meteor Shower

'What are the Geminid meteors? Scientists aren't sure. Perhaps chips off an exotic asteroid or dust from an extinct comet.' After last months Leonid Shower, I won't miss this one!" Since I slept through the Leonids, I hope I don't miss this one, too.

    This is what you get when you have a hard core quake (1,2,or 3) gamer who was born in the month of May.

    This is why I love slashdot. You wild and krazy guys allways post news that I want to know. Seriously.

    Personally, I am a gemini-taurus cusp who plays UT

  7. Stupid Linking by webword · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why do people link to home pages? Or news pages that change? It is silly and leads to broken links in just a couple of weeks. You need to link to actual articles. Point to archives. At least those pages stand less of chance of getting broken once the home page changes. Link to static pages, not dynamic ones. Got it?

    "freeze if you stand out that long"

    With the exception of today, we've been having a VERY mild winter here... I've worn a T-shirt and a fleece jacket almost all semester, never need to upgrade to sweatshirts.

    I remember my freshman year, the trombone section of the marching band was bone-caroling in shorts and T-shirts. This was during study week. And yes, it was here in Ithaca. :)

    I missed the Leonids due to sleep dep. Slept right through my alarm. :(
