Bad Week for the Eagles
First McNabb goes down for the season on a fluke ACL injury. Now, Andre Waters, one of my favorite players from the Buddy Ryan era, committed suicide.

Bob Barker Retires
The Price is Right without Bob Barker? Say it ain’t so! Whoever takes his place should definitely have to keep that skinny microphone. So who should be the next host on the Price is Right? My vote is Rob from the Treehouse.

Index Card Art
One thing I was into ten years ago was drawing on index cards. I used to carry them around in my CD case all the time. I thought I lost them until my mom dug them out the other day. I’ve posted the best of them and I’ll try to feature them here once and…

Beck – The Information
As most of you know I’m a big Beck fan. When Guero came out I did a track by track review. After a year and a half my opinion on Guero hasn’t changed much. It hits and misses and certainly isn’t up there with his better rock albums like Odelay and Midnight Vultures. Since Beck…

Rube Goldberg Office Contraption
I love stuff like this. I used to have a half hour DVD of stuff like this called The Way Things Go, but I lent it out and never got it back. I think it’s lost for good!

Lost
I resisted for a while, but once I watched a few episodes of Lost I became hooked. I’m finally all caught up to the new episodes airing now. The first two seasons are available on DVD and watching the third season will be tough with commercials and the lower video quality. The best way to…

Eagles vs Bucs
The Bucs just renewed their membership on my most hated teams list. Damn that was a ridiculous kick. In the nuts.

Wanted: Simpsons Clip
Does anyone know where I can find a clip from the Simpsons where Homer worked for Globex? The episode was called “You Only Move Twice” and it’s the scene were Homer is in charge of motivating a few guys on computers. He says something like, “Do you guys think you can work harder?” and they…

Firefox 2 Preview
I had some problems with my home Firefox installation (“Home” and “End” occasionally didn’t work in textboxes), so I downloaded the preview release of Firefox 2. So far it’s pretty neat. The icons in the default skin are slightly different and they look great. Tabs now each have their own Close Tab button, which I’m…

Crispin Glover and Clowns
Sometimes you just put something out there and in return you get something back even better. The other day I posted the video of Back the Future’s Biff singing a song that mentioned Crispin Glover, so Brian sent this my way. Bizarre.

38 – 24
Great game tonight. Also in honor of tonight’s game, let’s revisit a great Eagles – Cowboys moment:

Zing!
Yikes, I hope too many people didn’t see what was posted here a minute ago. Thanks Brian for pointing it out.

Ralph Wiggum
Bloodhound Gang rocks. Who else would write a song made up of all Ralph Wiggum quotes and then have the balls not to include “that’s unpossible,” “Tastes like burning,” and “I bent my wookie?”

Odd Man In with Ajax
I’ve been testing out a new type of interface to Odd Man In using some Javascript/CSS/DHTML trickery. Try it out using this URL in the latest game. If you want to try it out in another game, just change one part of the url (from “&file=game” to “&file=game_ajax”). If you send a message or anything…

Poker with a Plane to Catch
Freakonomics author Stephen Levitt tells the tale of his unintended, yet kickass, poker strategy: Committ yourself to leaving by a certain time and let everyone else know about it. So it was 10:15 pm and I figured the latest I could leave for the airport and comfortably make my flight was 10:30 pm. I decided…
