College World Series bracket
The official bracket for the CWS is up and ready. If Texas wins their first game I should be able to catch all of them on TV. I wish I had ESPNHD, stupid Grande.

How to fund your company with online poker
If they're good enough to pay the bills with online poker in 10 - 15 hours, maybe they should spend the other 40 hours playing too.
(Brad) Meador, who is head of operations at ClearContext, and Deva Hazarika, the chief executive officer, have been playing poker in lieu of collecting paychecks for the past year while working to get their three-person company off the ground. After logging 50 or more hours a week at the office, each one spends another 10 to 15 hours, usually on weekends and evenings, at their favorite poker sites--mainly Partypoker.com, Ultimatebet.com and Pokerstars.

Strategy for maximizing page views
I started posting excerpts on my homepage a couple of months ago and I just started putting just excerpts into my archives last week. The homepage I did to give a quick overview of everything going on with the site, while I switched the archives to conserve on bandwidth. Googlers were coming in and pulling 30 entries at once and getting a huge amount of images too when they were hitting my category or date-based archives. I paginated them too and I saved on bandwidth big time Friday and Saturday.

pigeon attack
I freaking hate pigeons and think they're disgusting and dirty, something tells me this kid will not be their biggest fans when she's older either.

NCAA Football 06: Diary of a Heisman Hopeful
IGN walks through the Race for the Heisman
mode in NCAA Football 2006. I'd love to try it, I wonder if you can do a traditional dynasty simultaneously with that mode. I'd like to create a guy and then have him play for Texas.

DVD Decrypter is no more
Well that's a freaking shame, I've been using DVD Decrypter since I first got a DVD burner two years ago and it's a wonderful product. Since the commercial DVD burning software won't let you make back ups of your own movies, you could always use DVD Decrypter to rip your movie so you could then burn it.
R.I.P. DVD Decrypter

FCC Accelerates Digital TV Compliance Date
FCC has notified TV manufacturers that all TV's between 25 and 36 inches must include digital tuners by March 2006 and all TV's larger than 36" must be equipped with the tuners by July 1st of this year.
It may be harder to eBay that Samsung digital tuner I just bought next year than I originally thought.

T-Mobile tops in customer care
Looks like T-Mobile is the top rated wireless carrier in customer care rankings. I never really even thought about it, but I haven't had any problems with them in years. I can almost always get a strong signal even from inside my apartment and inside my office. If I do have any problems (knock on wood), it's good to know their customer service is top notch.

Plunk Biggio
A weblog "Dedicated to Craig Biggio and his (probably unintentional) Quest to break the all time major league career record for getting hit by pitches."
Although he's having a good season, I wish he and Jeff Bagwell had stopped getting plunked two years ago before their salaries and talent decline started to really hurt the Astros.

The Flickr peeps have announced that they're giving away more stuff, this time some cool/useless junk. Stickers, buttons, yada. Send them a self-addressed envelope and you'll get the goods.

Dell announces premium PC line
I think the next desktop computer is either going to be something I put together myself or a Mac, but it'll still be interesting to see what Dell comes up with for the Lexus
of their PC lineup.
