Zeus : Deep Thought
Gazing deeply into the future and into his own soul he searches for his destiny. Does he realize he is not the prettiest of our nephews? Or, is beauty something deeper than flesh to this small pup?

South Park Characters
Some Gnome and Debian guys have been making South Park characters of themselves so I decided to jump on the bandwagan. I made the characters below for Aliciana and myself using the flash application at http://www.planearium2.de/flash/sp-studio-e.html and then touched them up using The GIMP.

States I Have Visited
On the Debian Linux blog that I read there is a neat “meme” (see definition here) going around which draws a colored map of the states you have visited in the US. I decided to give it a shot and was surprised about how large a part of my beautiful country I have visited.
The one inaccuracy of this map is that it’s resolution is only state level, so parts of states are colored that I have actually never scene. For example, I have never been to eastern Washington but have visited most of western Washington. I have also only visited the bottom half of Wyoming and the western border of Missouri (Kansas City, Missouri to be specific). It would be an interesting project to create a program to color in the counties within the states that have been visited.
Here is my map of visited states:

Map To Springfield
Most people my age love The Simpsons, a wonderful cartoon on Fox that has been running for 15 seasons. For those who haven’t seen the show, The Simpsons episodes usually take place in a town called Springfield. Now Simpsons fans can feel even more at home in Springfield with a map of the entire town, which is available here. This map has been painstakingly reconstructed based upon the 15 seasons of the show. Now any fan can see for themselves just how far a drunk Homer has to drive to get home from Moe’s.
