These signs are plastered all over theater.  They mean that those spots are for parking humvees and other tactical vehicles.  However, anytime I see one I can’t help but imagine Humvees whipping into the lot, tires screeching,  machine guns blazing, as the crews fight for the spot.  The winner is the first one to back in properly with his spotter still breathing.  Now, that is Combat Parking! 

As some of you know, I gave up on MS Windows a long time ago.  I have a small partition with Vista on it, but I run openSuse Linux more than 90% of the time.  I have also moved into the realm of Composited Desktops.  I had been running Beryl, but it merged back into Compiz earlier into the year and became Compiz Fusion.  A few nights ago openSuse finally released some packages of Compiz Fusion as Compiz 0.5.2 was released.  The Gods were smiling on me and I had a decent connection, so off I went and got the packages.  I uninstalled Beryl, installed Compiz Fusion and began to play with the Geeky goodness.  If you thought Mac OSX Dock apps or the semi-transparent windows in Vista were cool, look at this!
