About 2pm every day, I get up to walk over to the cafeteria to get my afternoon caffeine hit… or I watch this video. I am so very sorry, it had to be done. [5/17/04 Update]: Yeah, the link is down. If anyone can find a mirror, I’d appreciate it. [5/17/04 Update #2]: Ok, we’re… More

The main motivation for updating the site was really a nit.
