Ah, this subject line brings back memories: Your most magnificent toy ever, unleashed amongst women with a vengeance. Aside from my Commodore 64 – which was not a toy -- the first thing that came to mind was ROM - Space Knight. That thing was so cool. I’m not sure why women would care about it, though. It did have blinking lights… :)
Gerald Henderson moves on: The Duke sophomore guard said he has moved on in the 11 months since 21,750 Tar Heels basketball fans and millions watching on television saw him break North Carolina star Tyler Hansbrough’s nose trying to block a shot at the end of UNC’s 86-72 victory. In other news, I’ve moved on after my experiments as a child sent dozens of ants to their deaths in the jaws of hungry ant lions, Bobby Knight has moved on from slapping a police officer, and Microsoft has moved on from trying to crush all competition. ...
Yes!!!! They were probably my two favorite Redskins players, and Art Monk had been languishing on the eligibility list for years due to a bias against wide receivers in the Hall of Fame. (Count them.) Darrell Green made it in his first year, a testament to how much he was respected when he played. I remember one of the best jobs in the NFL for a long time was playing the opposite cornerback position from Green, because you knew they weren’t going to throw over there. On the other hand, lining up against Monk was a miserable job, because you already knew he’d get the ball almost every third down, and yet you couldn’t do much about it. ...
This is an extremely odd post about OLPC (One Laptop per Child): The processor is more than fast enough to run software written in capitalistic programming languages like C++, but the majority of the user interface is written in slow left-wing languages like Python. - Errata Security: Why the OLPC promotes terrorism I mostly program in ColdFusion at work. I like to think of it as a feudal language. :) Link courtesy of Global Nerdy. ...

I’m thinking it’s time for me to throw my hat in the ring as the Redskins’ next head coach. After all, I coached as many games as former candidate Jim Fassel this season. Seriously, somewhere in the background I hope Dan Snyder is sending Bill Cowher a small slip of paper every day with an ever-increasing number on it. :(

Rest in peace, Netscape. (Or at least official support for Netscape by the company that currently owns the name.) Arguably you were responsible for me doing what I do for a living. :)
