Do Computer Errors Bug You?


Jake is super excited to learn that on this day in 1947, the very first computer bug was found. And by "bug," I mean that they found an actual dead moth in the computer. No word on whether or not anyone tried to claim that the moth was actually a feature.

If anyone wants to celebrate International Buy-a-Priest-a-Beer Day, I recommend you don't start with the officiant from Erin and Brian's wedding. First of all, he's a minister, not a priest. Secondly, I don't think that dude needs to indulge in any further vices.

On a personal note it was fifteen years ago today that I began my stint as a guest blogger for this page! Guys, I'm starting to suspect that this isn't a temporary gig after all....

Fanfic Update!

"I Can Tell You're Really Upset About This, Dave..."

Hard to believe, but it was only 64 years ago that the world's first computer bug was discovered. And it was a real bug, found inside a computer. From that incident came the phrases "computer bug" and "software bug" and HAL 9000.

Today is also Chrysanthemum Day in Japan, with the Chrysanthemum Festival of course. We wish you a happy Chrysanthemum Day wherever you are. Nice name for a holiday. She must be an exchange student at Holiday Island High.

Stay tooned.

GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Today is a super-historic day. It is the 61st anniversary of the moment when the first "computer bug" was discovered. In this case, it was a real bug. From this little incident came the whole computer bug, software bug, etc., schtick.

At Holiday Island High, today is the day of Kiku no Sekku, or the Chrysanthemum Festival in Japan. Pretty girl, probably like Quinn in personality.

Enjoy, and I hope you don't get any bugs today.
