Guten morgen! Happy No Beard Day. Weird. Last year it was "Beard Day" and now it's "No Beard Day"? Guess they changed their minds. I'm down with the no beard thing. Never been a fan of them really. Unless maybe they're neat... no Grizzy Adams stuff. Women are typically not big fans of facial hair. Hear that guys? If you wanna get some then go shave! Of course, it's also Hump Day, appropriately enough. But just for non-bearded people. Let's see who's having a birthday today... Pam Dawber (55) and Jean-Claude Van Damme (46). Ciao!
On this day in history...

Good Morning and a big Happy 10th Birthday to Planet Quake! It's really amazing to think back at how many people and websites got their start because of PQ. Planet Quake was the site that spawned the GameSpy Network, along with the careers of many well known people such as all of the bigwigs at GameSpy, as well as Hellchick, Lowtax and many others. Then there are all of the people who had hosted sites to showcase their talents, and are now working at companies like id Software, Raven Software, Splash Damage, Ritual, and the list goes on. Stop by Planet Quake for anniversary contests and articles. Happy Birthday PQ!
