Oh, Pittsburgh’s going nuts right now.
The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl! After beating the first, second, and third seeds in the AFC, the Steelers have defied all odds and are going to face the Seahawks — where for the first time this postseason they’re actually favored to win. The streets all […]
Apparently my LiveJournal account was hit by the recent “bantown” cross-site scripting attack. Thanks to Mav for pointing this out. Apparently my interests and e-mail address were both changed and LiveJournal responded by suspending my account. All this to gain control over a journal that I hadn’t ever used for original content. […]
Visit this news story between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM EST during a weekday. I really don’t care about the content of the story — I’m just amazed that those stock prices tick in “real-time” (15-20 minutes delayed, but they still update as time goes on). That’s really cool. I wish more […]
While watching the season premiere of 24 last night, my Comcast cable box (a Motorola DCT6412) froze up on me. This is not new behavior, and it is not behavior that Comcast’s support staff knows how to fix without simply advising a reboot.

The recipe includes three eggs, a pint of buttermilk, four ounces of chocolate chips, and half a cup of cocoa. The resultant waffle smells wonderful while it’s cooking […]
I’m selling my dad’s old, broken Palm III on eBay. Bidding starts at 99 cents. If you’re handy with little electronic gizmos, you could have a working unit for virtually nothing!
I am happy tonight. My PowerBook now eeps with displeasure. I found a link to the Mac OS Classic Sound Pack which includes all the classic sound effects that, for whatever reason, never got incorporated into Mac OS X.
Eep?
I went to an NCAA Division III school after graduating from a high school that didn’t care about football. I actually made an effort today to watch the FedEx Orange Bowl pitting Penn State against Florida State. I’m watching House now.
The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is supposed to pluck the eight best football […]
