Which File Extension Are You
I don’t know what frightens me more, the fact that somebody created this quiz, or the fact that I took the time to take it. Actually no, what really scares me is that it’s not really that far off. And if you’re wondering what I am, here’s what the site has to say. You are …
Stayin’ Alive? Not So Much
Brad sent this news story, which I somehow managed to miss. Not sure how that happened. Phillip Quinn was killed last week when his lava lamp exploded.

>I Guess This Isn’t A New Thing
>After the craziness that was the Friday night basketball game that everybody’s probably heard about by now, Sports Illustrated has put together alist of some of the most memorable fan vs. athlete confrontationsthat have taken place over the years. It’s interesting stuff, not to mention a pretty good answer to the age old question, why …
