So I stayed up with my girlfriend for the 12:01 showing of Dark Knight at the IMAX theatre in Dulles.

As an aside, the air and space museum out there is gorgeous. The road leading up to it could easily be used as a drag strip. The huge glass building stands tall out of the flat expanse of the landscape, and they’ve got all sorts of stuff inside (including a SR-71 Blackbird, Space Shuttle Enterprise, and The Enola Gay).

Anyway, this post is about Dark Knight. Dark doesn’t even begin to describe this movie. It has almost no redeeming points for anyone. You have to go see it - it’s most definitely the best superhero movie made to date. The villians are creepy, the batman is batty… it was very satisfying, despite its darkness.

This is a movie that could not have been made at any other time than now. Does that bother me? A little. Not too much, though. It’s almost like it was worth it.

I wonder what villians are going to be in the next one. Out of a pool of: Poison Ivy, Penguin, Killer Croc, Freeze, Catwoman, Clayface, Riddler, and the Ventriloquist.

My guess: Killer Croc and Catwoman. We’ll see.

At the theater, there was a guy sitting near me who was very loud. Someone came up to him and exclaimed that he was the biggest jew he’d ever seen. I was about to interject when the man agreed, then said his measurements: 6′4″ 310lbs. I was officially not the biggest jew in the room.

You should have seen my smile.

Well, I’ve gotten around to designing a new blog again.

I suppose I should keep it updated more often. I found a cool IRC client called Quassel - it essentially acts as both a bouncer and a client, keeping state between sessions and keeping your connection persistent. 

Does anyone want to buy a hyundai?

I turned 22. I had a lan-birthday party. It was great.

Now I have a new computer, too. Because my old one broke.

Anyone need some ddr?

The girlfriend has me watching all the back episodes of lost.

Damnit.

Stealing my productivity!

I’m definitely keeping myself busy this summer. In addition to the three-to-four jobs I’ve picked up, I think I’m going to start outlining my book on homebrew.

It just totally kills me every time I see advice on the web that 1) includes no programming 2) teaches bad practices. There was a page on wikihow which essentially said “go download this crap and you can point and click and make a ds game yaay”.

Woo.

Yep, Busy.

Well, the semester is over, I did okay.

Going to be working on some iPhone stuff this semester, as well as a GSoC project.

I wish I could get my hands on some modafinil…

I managed to pick up two IBM Model M keyboards for $20. One is from 1984, the other is from 1996. They’re both badass, and they both work great.

Awesome.

*tik tik tik tik tak*

You can pull these keyboards away from my cold, dead, arthritic hands.
