Coffee is good for you
Coffee provides more healthful antioxidants than any other food or beverage in the American diet.
Antioxidants might help reduce your chance of cancer, or they might not. Scientifically, we've really got no idea half the time.

Happy 47th Julio!
Julio Franco turns 47 today, and for all we know he may really be more like 50. He will become the oldest man to ever homer in a game the next time he hits one out.

NCAA backtracks a little
Florida State threatened to sue over the NCAA's moronic ruling and they backpedaled as fast as they could. I imagine the threats and lawsuits will keep on coming till they repeal the whole stupid thing.

310-pound offensive lineman Thomas Herrion of Fort Worth collapsed and died after the San Francisco 49ers' preseason game against the Denver Broncos last night. He was 23.
This morning's Sportscenter led the show with crap on Terrell Owens and some preseason NFL scores before they bothered to mention the young man's death.

Sweet Logitech keyboard/mouse/remote
Not too ridiculously priced either. I wonder if that's going to be their new keyboard layout and style?

Cheap nerds trample each other
$50 bucks for a four-year-old Apple iBook isn't really even that great of a deal. Laptops are obsolete in about 18 months, these things are ancient.

Verizon FiOS
It's hardly available anywhere, but you should definitely check if it's an option where you live. Fiber optics to the premises allow you to get ridiculous speeds and for some reason Verizon is also offering ridiculous prices. 5 Mbps for $40 or 15 Mbps for $50.
I'm paying $50 for 1.5 Mbps from Grande, I'm getting hosed.
