&lt;p&gt;Welp, now you know what you’ll be doing for the rest of the night. And at work tomorrow. And tomorrow night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(and, of course, it’s also an &lt;a href="http://canabalt.com/" target="_blank"&gt;iPhone game&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Hey, Verizon: instead of thinking up clever slogans disparaging awesome things you didn’t have the foresight to invest in, why don’t you, I don’t know, offer a compelling product that doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out with a melon baller.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://kurtw.tumblr.com/post/205506471</link><guid>http://kurtw.tumblr.com/post/205506471</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:45:07 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Jay mashup I...</title><description>&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://kurtw.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/203572056/tumblr_kqj4o8tUKI1qz6aaw&amp;color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Jay mashup I didn’t like.&lt;/p&gt;

The lens was destroyed (worth it of course) but the camera survived this one despite being severed from its ratchet straps and thrown to the ground, and the sound device used for this one disconnected from the camera and thrown about 200 feet backwards into the pad perimeter fence (still worked!). All settings are preset manually. No one is allowed closer than several miles from a launch.
