So, I had that previous post almost all typed up, was just putting a few finishing touches on it before I was going to hit Submit and "poof" — the power went out. I really need to replace the battery in my Universal Power Supply. I've also misplaced that cool LED flashlight that Dave got me for Christmas. I remember last using it to take a look inside my G5, but darned if I can remember where it went after that. Grrrrr. I'm sure it had something to do with record-setting heat here in Denver today. Of course, it went out for about an hour, so I missed the end of the Bronco game. Thank goodness for the Internet to tell me that we won over the SF 49ers 17–13. Whew. I mean, I know it's only preseason, but you've got to get the season off on the right foot, especially when you're playing the team that knocked you out of the playoffs last year.

Now that it seems the power is back on for good (it went out again shortly about five minutes after it first came back on), I guess I'll try to head to bed.

Why is it that the minute you turn a webcam on, your nose itches? I don't want you guys to think I'm picking my nose, but it is itching like crazy! Man, I forgot how quickly a half hour passes in between posts.

I thought it was all fixed, but I come home today and there are still doubles in my RSS feed. WTF? I think I know what's causing it, I just haven't figured out how to fix it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh, no...I think I'm addicted. I've always loved Tetris and Tetris-like games. I've been playing this cool little Internet flash game called Statetris. You have a map of the United States and you get to place the falling states. Fun stuff!

Thanks to a mention from Colleen in a comment, I am now aware that my RSS feed is messed up. I totally screwed up my prior RSS feed and thought going to a default template from the EE site would fix things for now. Apparently, though, if I edit a post for any reason, it shows up more than once in a reader. Great, now I've got to worry about this. Like I've got time to deal with it.

Edit: Also figured out my permalinks were wrong. Weeee. Testing to see if this fixes the problem.
