Lego Star Wars The Video Game combines three of the things I love the most:

1. Legos(r)
2. Star Wars(tm)
3. Platforming video games

In a word: perfection.

A comment in the header of one of the provided files for one of my compiler design projects:

That must be some elementary school!

Oh man, I’m never eating food again. I just got back from a steakhouse adventure with Sean, Joel, and Dan, followed up by a trip to Shakes, and I’m so full that I can’t see straight. Or maybe that’s the hour and a half of sleep talking. Either way, too much food, not enough sleep. Oy.

Well, in ten hours it’ll all be over. In the mean-time, however, there’s a compiler design final at 10:30, my human-centered systems presentation at 1:00, and grading final exams for graphics until they’re finished.

A favorite quote, paraphrased just a bit for the current situation:
