A hearty thank you to Frans for his hard work at piecing the site back together after our hard drive crash. We think everything is back where we left it, and all the static HTML stories that were posted during the outage are now in the database. Here's a big thank you to Frans for his efforts, and to all of you for your patience and encouragement during the downtime.

Link of the Day: Chèvres en équilibre - goats balancing on a flexible steel ribbon. Thanks nin.

R.I.P.: Devo guitarist Bob Casale dies at 61. Thanks Neutronbeam.
