Two 3 AM alarms this week for one Falcon 9 launch, a scrub half a second before liftoff, and why I think SpaceX's Dragon flight deserves more attention than it's getting.
I woke up at 3 AM to watch SpaceX launch the Dragon capsule live, three days after the first attempt aborted with half a second left on the clock.
I got up at 4:15 a.m. to watch SpaceX try to launch Dragon to the ISS, and it aborted half a second before liftoff. Some thoughts on that, plus a Diablo III error 37 rant.

Diablo III launched yesterday and Battle.net basically fell over. A rundown of Error 37, why always-online single-player is a bad idea, and how I spent launch night staring at a login screen instead of killing anything.
