This funny image has a story behind it: so our local FOX station is changing their look and was testing their weather system, but it wasn't supposed to make it on-air, the test, so yesterday FOX 59 said we had a "Blizzard Warning", when there was no snow, and it was early June. LOL

Here's a pic of it (it's huge so click the link):

What are your summer 2013 plans?

I'm going to North Carolina tommorow to a cabin in the Smokies. The cabin is pet-friendly too so we're taking my dog (half Beagle, half boxer).

Personally, I keep up with the news primarily through social media, since TV news is just plain depressing half the time. I don't really mind reading the newspaper, but half of it is stuff I don't need to know either or some other overly detailed documentary of a criminal's jail sentence.

How much do you keep up with the news? Be sure to vote in the poll!

With thousands of bands to listen to today, it takes many bands years to really make a name for themselves. Then of course there are many bands that become successful, then drop off after a few short years just as quickly as they hit the spotlight.

Many very good bands simply run out of creative ideas after they've hit their perfect album. More often musicians get old and lose the young sense of rock 'n roll. I'd say that few bands are lucky enough to see more than 5-10 years in the limelight of their golden years, with bands like Rush being the exception.. Any thoughts?

Beep Beep, boop beep boop beep.

I'm ashamed to say, but to be honest, I am kind of a ( ) at Unix. So, for ( )s like me, what distro would you recommend me trying out? I'd prefer it to be steam compatible, so out of these, which would you recommend?

lol stupid word filter. meant to say n-o-o-b-s.

If you want, post your steam name here and me and whoever else may (or may not) add you on Steam. Mine is cg93412.

Personally I use notepad++ for most things, and vim for a linux command-line editor. For the coders out there, what's your preference?

Well, there is no poster above me!

Hey, why not?
