The 50 People Who Need a Vicious Beating
Aside from #1, Jay Leno, this list is right on. I've got no problem with wanting to give Leno a beating, but there are a lot of more deserving people. Lots of great people who need a vicious beating from the sports world, the Skip Bayless (#36) is right on the mark.

PSP goes white and gets a browser
The latest official firmware update for the PSP will include an actual web browser. No more need to use hacks to browse the web, now I'll be able to surf the internet anywhere I can get a WiFi connection.

Access your TiVoToGo via a browser
Type your TiVo's IP address into your web browser (make sure to use https:// and not http:// because it's an encrypted site) and you'll have access to your Now Playing
selection. Simply click a link and download the episode to your PC. Easy.
I don't use my TiVoToGo much so I don't like running the software on my PC all the time, this is a great alternative.

A healthy 9.2 and says the game is a magnanimous leap forward for the franchise.

I was a DIF subscriber and enjoyed the first 2 issues a lot. I never took the time to sit down and read the latest two though, I need to.

Right and Left wing blogs are both crap
And Republicans and Democrats are both equally corrupt and moronic. Being a relatively near the middle conservative who is apathetic about half the BS issues is much better.

New Windows Longhorn shots
Nothing too exciting, still looking like a pretty early beta. Interface looks pretty good, but I wonder what happened to the sidebar I've seen previously.

Six Apart responds to 500 errors
In the last few days I've suddenly been getting 500 Internal Server Errors when trying to rebuild an individual entry in my Movable Type install. It comes and goes in other situations too, but that's the main culprit. It appears to be caused by a cPanel upgrade to certain Perl modules, while other non-cPanel environments aren't having the same problems.
Right now it's something I can get around without too much frustration, but hopefully either cPanel or 6A can get a fix out ASAP.

CompUSA may already have NCAA 2006
If you really love NCAA Football 2006 then you might want to head over to your local CompUSA because some people have found the game there on sale early. Looks like it's only at certain stores, which could be because of the managers at a particular store or just based on distribution centers.
I'll be heading to the closes CompUSA near me to check it out this afternoon.
Update: Looks like I may be out of luck. If you check the availability in my area it says Coming soon
and other places say In-stock.
If you want to check your area, just change the zip code at the very end of those URLs.

DT Lindner's NCAA 2006 review
I've now officially posted everything I can find on NCAA Football 2006. Although DT does have financial incentive to encourage people to buy the game (he sells rosters with correct player names), he does seem pretty damn enthusiastic about it.
