This is a Scythe SCNJ-1000 Ninja passive heatsink for socket 478 processors. It is huge (about 15 cm tall) but will keep the computer very quiet (and cool, too). Will be running on a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4, Northwood edition.

Snoop

I hustled over to the quad leg extension machine at Lifetime Fitness, trying to wrap (rap?) up my workout as quickly as possible. That’s when I looked in the mirror in front of me, and spotted Snoop Dogg walking on a treadmill just behind me. He wasn’t sweating. He wasn’t really dressed for working out. But I mean, if it really were Snoop Dogg, I am confident that he would be way too cool to do something like run. That’s not his style. He’s going to stroll … and look cool doing it.

Mr. Dogg.

Complete with sunglasses, gangster baggy-fit, moustache, long hair … this guy was channeling the spirit of Mr. Dogg, right here in Minnesota. And let me tell you, channeling the spirit of a super-star, inner city, hard core, straight up rapper is not at all an easy thing to do in the frozen tundra, predominantly Lutheran, Scandanavian-descended stereotype of Minnesota. For extra points, this man was performing his Snoop a good distance from South Minneapolis, the closest thing we even have to an inner city. Stunning!

Snapping out of my reverie, I did a quick leg set, but couldn’t help marveling that this was the closest I would ever be to experiencing Snoop’ness. I returned a short while later thinking I might discern more about this strange man, but alas, our hero had vanished in a puff of marijuana smoke to roll away on his dubs and spread gangster rap to another part of the country.

This bird just kept flying up and up and up after launching from the tree.
