I used to always leave my computer on over night just to have my IM away message up so that I would catch any messages people tried to send me. But of course, it never happened, and I would feal guilty for wasing all that power it took to run my computer while doing absolutely nothing with it.
But, with Folding@Home, not only do I feel great knowing that my cycles are helping valuable research, I can leave my computer on guilt free, knowing that my power consumption is for the greater good.
Thanks Folding, for enabling my internet addiction!

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. I’ve recently discovered this movie, and I think its awesome for so many reasons.
Firstly, It tells a story with no dialog at all. The entire movie is set to the Daft Punk album “discovery”, so it’s all synced up to the music. If you’ve ever watched a Daft Punk music video and wondered “who are these smufry people and what is going on?”, it’s because all the videos from that album were taken straight from the movie. And on top of that, the CD by itself is awesome. I can’t stop listening to it after watching this movie. And the whole thing looks great.
As far as the story goes, it is utterly ridiculous when you think about it, but I don’t think it was ever supposed to be realistic.
Check this movie out!
