The Most Amazing Thing Ever
I found the most amazing thing ever. A gym. But not just any gym. Short of being located directly across the street, it couldn't possibly be any better than it already is.
- It has all of the normal gym stuff one expects
- It has multiple indoor and outdoor pools.
- It is about ten minutes from my house.
- It is open 24/7
What this means is that when I'm tired of working at 3am, I can get up and fifteen minutes later I can be swimming laps.
I'm never moving.

Also, I was sent a url to a bunch of programming related quotes. I've never really cared for XML much (although I have used it quite a bit), so I particularly enjoyed these:
The essence of XML is this: the problem it solves is not hard, and it does not solve the problem well.
-- Phil Wadler, POPL 2003
XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it.
-- Heard from someone working at Microsoft
