Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of the release of the Quake II point release, and in addition to being Zoid's birthday as previously mentioned (the big 3-0, so I'm told), it was also the second birthday of one of his children, Threewave CTF for Quake II. More birthdays: Raven's truly certifiable Jake Simpson's birthday is somewhere around tomorrow (BTW, this is the second year in a row I screwed up Chris Foster's, which was last week (gotta love annual traditions), and id's Kenneth Scott's birthday is tomorrow, as well. Today is also the birthday of Ritual's Andrew Collins. There... all set, including handy email links if you want to send some birthday spam.

Link of the Day: Oklahoma Microscopy Society Ugly Bug Contest. Thanks [m42]Tyger. They probably switched to microscopes from magnifying glasses after one too many portrait subjects burst into flames while posing.
Image of the Day: Penguin Computing Graphics has a bunch of Linux-oriented desktop wallpapers. Thanks Jeff Magill.
