In case you aren’t a regular peruser of SlashDot and you don’t have anything better to dowith four minutes and sixteen seconds of your life, I’m mirroring a copy of a movie from the folks at A Dog Named Fish (some of their mirrors are dog-slow right now). They used about 7,000 captures from their Web cam to create a stop-motion video of them building a Lego Star Destroyer from the ground up. My very favorite part is the fact that the guy is wearing an “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” T-shirt. Talk about a nerdfest. *Sigh* My tribe… 😛

One of the houses in our general neighborhood (still Normandy Park, but in the high-rent district) has gone simply gangbusters in their celebration of this auspicious holiday. I just had to share it with y’all.

Happy Fourth, everybody.

I pledge allegience to the flag of the United States of America,
And to the republic for which it stands,
One nation, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all.
