To Much Heat and Time

What do you do when you have 2 cases of CPU fans and some spare time in during your lunch hours?

You build this...




According to the builder (who worked at a computer store) it didn't make the machine run any faster but did make it weigh more. Comparing it to a "freshly-dead hippopotamus".

McEnroe thinks someone else is taking a "whack" at Tennis

What happens when matches start to look suspicious? Well John seems to think that someone is being threatened.

"Someone may have threatened the players, and they are put in a situation. I'm guessing that could happen. That would make more sense to me than top players throwing a match for money."

And he doesn't think throwing a match makes financial sense which is why he thinks that people are being threatened.

"Throwing a match for money would be stupid, as you would be risking losing what you've worked for your whole life. It seems crazy that players would take that risk for money. It would make more sense that they've been threatened in some way and that's why they're doing it.

So now after thinking about every late game call in basketball, whether my baseball player is on the juice, and if my football coach is cheating now we get to think about this as well? That is if anyone is still watching tennis.

A Brief History of the Sitcom

With the writers strike going on I thought it would be valuable to review the history of the TV sitcom. That bastion of new and fresh ideas.

Controlling the HD-DVD with Wizardry

Trying to choose which format to choose in the HD Wars? Well HD-DVD has a new feature that is being released on the latest Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix HD DVD. In this new release you can control the HD-DVD player of your friends and have a screening party in multiple locations. Here is the quote directly from www.lookandsoundperfect.com

Gather your own army of fellow wizards for a live community screening party. Invite other owners of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix HD DVD to simultaneously watch from their own internet-accessed players and text with your remote, PC or cell phone. When you host an invitation-only viewing, you control the film by pausing and playing the feature on everyone’s machine. You can chat live with your friends as you watch.

While many people will try to understand why you would want to text on your phone to your BFF while the movie is playing instead of just going over to their house I have a different take on this. How useful will this be for creative houses that want to show and review the latest edit but the customer is in a different city? This technology could be quite useful edit and post houses who struggle to control the experience and the review process of their customers when they are outside of the walls of their suite.
