It holds a special place in my heart, as I used it in the blueswitch.com easter egg (click the "switch" more than ten times in two seconds or less).

grrr

Take a look at the animated GIF part-way down on this blog post by James Jean.

The second frame--where everything's bright oranges, blues, and greens--it doesn't seem to fit in anywhere in the final drawing... so what's it for?

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, The Golden Gate Foghorn.

It may sound relatively innocuous, but when played on a twenty second interval, it becomes very reminiscent of that particular droning part of the Terminator soundtrack. And as such, my primary fear is not falling asleep only to have clowns eat me--it's robots from Skynet (I blame spending too much time on teh Internets) [1].

And oh yes, it does get foggy here quite often.

[1] As big of an influence the Terminator series had on my development, my general fear of robots/computers probably actually stems from Superman III--particularly the scene towards the end of the film where the evil computer ingests one of the she-villains into its computational and literal machinations (also see: Virus). But, honestly, who talks about that movie nowadays?
