This one can’t wait another 21 hours for the next del.icio.us posting:
The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments
> What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It’s amazing and completely insane.

It’s that once yearly time where I get tired of the layout I have and switch to an entirely different one.
This one finally cures something that’s always bothered me immensely about most MT themes – the artificial 500px content boundary. I’m sure 500px is great for keeping people focused on text, but it’s horrible if you want to post a picture with reasonable size.
This theme is “[darkhash](http://www.thestylecontest.com/designs/hash)”, with a couple tweaks to fit my overly particular nature. It’s my vote to win the [MT/LJ/TypePad Style Contest](http://www.thestylecontest.com/).
Some content has settled in transit and may be missing for the time being; it’ll be back soon, I promise.
UPDATE: I’ve ungimped the comment form, upped the font size to make the pages easier to read, increased the width a little, replaced a handful of icons, and added a tag cloud to the archives page. I appreciate the feedback I’ve gotten and certainly won’t mind getting more.
As I was trying to track down a few people today, I noticed a large pool of water creeping into our new office space. In a low key manner I’ve come to understand is typical of me, I knocked on someone’s door and beckoned them towards it, quietly mentioning this large mass of water that had already infiltrated two offices.
Panic ensued. Panic with, thankfully, a lot of laughter. It wasn’t just our space that had the water running through it, the lowest floor of the library was also soaked – undoubtedly caused by the massive rainstorm. We kept our spirits high. Rubber duckies were dunked, cameras were deployed, and when facilities arrived with an armada of shopvacs, they were more than willing to pose for a photo or two.
It was the nice sort of ridiculous situation to end a week with.
(I have a few more pictures up under the tag workflood, if you’re bored.)
