Good morning, everyone! We had some crazy storms here in Illinois last night, but we've survived and come out the other end in one piece. I may or may not have gone out to get tacos in the middle of the madness because, you know, tacos. I think they were worth it.

Here's a video of the Foo Fighters rocking Washington D.C. with Dave Grohl in a lighted guitar throne.

Swag of the Week

Stephen Hacket is quitting his day job and going full time on his web projects, 512 Pixels, Relay, and freelancing. In good nerd form he's selling a t-shirt to help propel him into this brave new world. The shirt is pretty awesome even if you don't know who Stephen is. I ordered mine already and I think you should too.
