Hocus Pocus: Harry Potter Illustration of Edward Juan. There are a lot of cool illustrations here if you’re a fan of the series.
Update: I’ve noticed that a lot of people have been coming to this page recently and for a while the original link above was defunct, but I’ve fixed it now. On top of that here’s an updated list of a few other sites with quality Harry Potter Manga style illustrations:
I’ve been using the Mozilla .96 as my main browser for the last couple days and it seems to work pretty well. Unfortunately the text boxes in Movable Type seem to have word wrapping problems so I’m writing this in IE 5.1 instead. I wonder if that’s a known bug or something about the html used for the form? Weird.
On other fronts the Ferris JV boys basketball team has their second game of the season in just over two hours over at North Central. Conveniently N.C. is about a mile from where I work.
Evan linked to a question I was wondering about myself recently: Why is New York City called The Big Apple?
The phrase “The Big Apple” referring to New York City was first used in a 1909 book, The Wayfarer in New York edited by Edward S. Martin. In a metaphor explaining the sentiment in the Midwest that the city receives more than a fair share of the nationís wealth, he explains: ” ëNew York [was] merely one of the fruits of that great tree whose roots go down in the Mississippi Valley, and whose branches spread from one ocean to the otherÖ[But] the big apple [New York] gets a disproportionate share of the national sap.í ” (Irving Lewis Allen, City in Slang [Oxford University Press, 1995], p. 62)
In other news it looks like the big snow storm we’ve been expecting since last night has just arrived. A few minutes ago the local doppler indicated we were in the eye of a storm of precipitation, but that seems to have shifted because the flakes are falling now.
I should really go get my gloves out of my car before it gets covered in snow.
I’m not looking forward to the drive up the hill to basketball practice this afternoon. Hopefully the advance deicing will have left the roads wet rather treacherous.
The MacOS X Solutions Guidebook looks like it could be a useful pdf to have around. I haven’t had a chance to peruse it yet though so the Axodys jury is still out. Maybe during my lunch.
Apparently entry number 907 never existed in the Movable Type version of Axodys so this is the filler entry
Zags are on a great roll CHARMED: Gonzaga holds off Texas challenge for 67-64 win.
Seattle home to concentration of brain power
A new U.S. Census survey found that nearly 52 percent of Seattle residents age 25 or older have graduated from a four-year college, a higher proportion than in any other big city in the nation. The figure eclipsed the national average of 25 percent.

Mary and I woke up a little later than usual today thanks to a misconfigured alarm clock. We both made it into work ontime (and in my case even slightly earlier than usual), but considering I’d intended to come in an hour early I was still running late obviously. I don’t think the alarm clock ever went off so it may have been the classic AM/PM setting problem. I’ll know for sure when I get home and examine the clock more closely.
In other work related news, most of the students will be gone starting Wednesday, so I should be able to have a nice productive day tweaking the computers in the labs. I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving already.
