Katie and I watched the Shuttle launch. It was spectacular to see it go up again. I really feel sorry for TQR who came all the way down here to see it, but couldn't because of the weather delays.

I'm now at work, watching the space walks. It totally brings me back to July of last year when I was watching the space walks while living in Dave's apartment while he was in Europe. It's mind blowing to think that the astronauts are up there orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes while traveling 5 miles a second and I can sit here and watch them on my computer while doing other work. It seems like a scene from a Sci-Fi movie. Katie and I were lucky enough to see Discovery attached to the Space Station fly over on Saturday night. Go here for sighting opportunities near you.

Something else that took me back to college (freshman year specifically) was watching World Cup 2006. I set my computer to record all of the games, and it did, except for one- the final game! I didn't get to see the final game! I suppose that a more dedicated fan would have stayed home to watch it. And just my luck, it's a game that goes to PKs! I was definitely mad.

Speaking of freshman year, some of you may remember me learning a new keyboard layout called DVORAK. Today I'm adding another keyboard layout to my repertoire- Colemak. Why? Because I can! It's supposed to be better than DVORAK and one big advantage is that it keeps the keys used for undo, cut, copy, and paste (ZXCV), in the same positions a QWERTY.

This post is brought to you by the Colemak keyboard layout.
