Coffee is good for you

August 30, 2005 at 10:13 PM

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.

August 30, 2005 at 10:06 PM

In the midst of this horrible tragedy is there really a need to call things a blog just to be in on the latest trends? It's just a running timeline of hurricane updates.

August 27, 2005 at 07:58 PM

Mike's initial impressions of the upgrades and a few things he's still waiting for either Six Apart or some plug-in writer to take care of.

Sure is nice to know that someone like Mike has Anil and the rest of the crew's ear.

UT student charged with aiding Pitonyak

August 27, 2005 at 12:31 PM

This story gets weirder and weirder. Now the girl who was on her way to Mexico with Colton Pitonyak has been charged with hindering apprehension.

Check out some of the things she supposedly said, I'm not sure how a gunshot, stabbing, and dismemberment can be considered an an accident.

Update: Colton Pitonyak was found guilty of Jennifer Cave's murder and sentenced to 55 years in jail. Visit link

Happy 47th Julio!

August 23, 2005 at 09:03 PM

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

August 23, 2005 at 08:28 PM

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.

August 21, 2005 at 06:46 PM

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

August 16, 2005 at 06:32 PM

$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

August 10, 2005 at 08:41 PM

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.
