So I was browsing Slashdot this afternoon, and I cam accross this geek gift guide. As I was scrolling near the bottom of the page I see this picture taken by Mika during the smashening v01. So apparently the pictures we took were good enough to be used as examples of cool high speed photography. Of course Mika’s a little irked that they took his photo without giving any credit (plus they’re using it to hawk there $100 trigger kit, when we used a much cheaper $20 self assembly kit).

On the weekly news front this week has been pretty decent, on Monday we finally flipped the switch to go live on the project that I’ve pretty much been working on since I started. It’s a nice feeling to finally get it almost finished, another week or so effort and it should be finally out the door. That evening was monday night football at Harry’s, with the boys to get another stamp on the super bowl card.

Wednesday night, Chantelle, Mari, Ben and I went to see the IMAX version of the latest Harry Potter movie. It was pretty good, I’d seen it already in Houston but it was kinda cool to see it on the huge IMAX screen, plus it was good to see Chantelle and Mari again as it’d been a while. I have a small complaint about the Harry Potter movie series, I really enjoyed all the books but the movies as they’ve gone on have gotten kind of annoying. Now the books are really long, so I realize they have to cut the movies down to something a bit more managable but it still bugs me that they cut out plot elements. I’m not sure what they could do about it, maybe make the movies longer which might be a tough sell given that the latest outing is 2 hours and 15 mins long and they’re trying to market the movies to be good for kids, and I’m thinking 2:15 might already be pushing it for most minature humans.
