I also got the chance to realize that all of my Linux computers were set to EST instead of EST5EDT (grumble, grumble).

Lucky 33333 Fever

Last Tuesday my truck's odometer read 33333 as it hit 133,333 miles (it has no hundred thousands digit) and I took a photo of it. Sure it probably wasn't safe taking a photo of my dash while driving, but I'm ok and with 3 being my favorite number, it was worth the risk. I have included the photo for your pleasure, the thumbnail links to the full image. It would have been nice if I could have gotten 133,333.3, but there was too much glare and the photo didn't come out. I'm pretty surprised at the quality my phone put out on this one and completely unsurprised that the photo 0.3 miles later didn't turn out at all.

Also the post title is a Final Fantasy VII reference.

Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico

That the United States, at one time, had an Emperor has recently come to my attention. I find it rather interesting that history books tend to neglect the reign of Emperor Norton I when recounting American History. The more I read about this man, the more exceptional he is, truly a great American and a patriot. I can honestly say, with great conviction that Emperor Norton I is one of my personal heroes.
