Well I'm here alone in the BlueTower, as MrsBlue wings her way to the west coast to see what it may possibly hold for our future. We'll be separated for four days, which is pretty much the longest we've been apart in pushing 18 years of living together. Weird to say the least.

R.I.P.: Bee Gees star Robin Gibb dies aged 62. Thanks Cutter.

Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play:	Achromatized. Jelly Escape.
Stories:	Four climbers die on Everest.
Media:	Wild CREEPER appeared. Conan O’Brien and David Letterman Discuss Jay Leno. Best of just for laughs 2011.

It was the cheapest 27" around, and unfortunately it lived up to it in color quality. http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club After my friend bought one of those they're talking about in that thread, I picked up a Catleap myself; 2560x1440 27" IPS monitor for less than half of what a similar one costs here. It's a risk to buy it, since they're coming directly from Korea and warranty work would probably be too expensive to be worth it, but the monitors are beautiful and the price is great. IPS color quality on a decent gaming monitor at extremely high res. You do need a pretty hefty video card to make it worthwhile, though.
