Had a great evening! After my brother in law's 15th birthday we all headed over to Peacock's to play pool.

Happy Birthday Shane!

I was very disappointed when I found out (after the fact) that VMWare doesn't support DirectX. Sheesh, VirtualPC supports DirectX (AFAIK), and it doesn't have the luxury of having a native processor handy!

I was hoping to be able to install some games that I used to play when I had a Win95 box around... the virtualized Win95 environment would be more than fast enough for this old games.

:(

CNN: Coin flip and lottery settles Michigan election tie

What's fucked up about this isn't that a coin flip and lottery picked the winner... it's that the township supervisor election was tied at 600 votes each, but there are only 1038 registered voters in the town!

The article doesn't even mention that discrepency. Oh brother.

CANOE Review: X-MEN on DVD -- "As movies based on comic books go, "X-Men" is one of the best. But that's a bit like saying as hockey teams from the southern U.S. go, the Atlanta Thrashers are the best."

LOL!

The new Google Toolbar for IE5+/Win totally rocks. I sure hope they make a Mac version. A Mozilla version should be relatively straightforward to do for someone who's really adept at XBL/XUL/JS.

CNN: Professor to wire computer chip into his nervous system -- "If the experiment is successful, Warwick's wife Irena will also receive a silicon chip implant to explore how movement, thought and emotion can be transmitted from one person to another. Questions abound as to how this will affect the couple."

There is a poll on that page that asks "Would you be willing to implant a chip in your body?". As of this moment it's 51% yes, 49% no.

Sources: A-Rod, Texas agree to $252M deal

You have to be kidding. Is one person on a baseball diamond (a huge field) so good that he's worth that much? Are his arms 30 meters long? Does his glove have a massive gravitational force? Who will be able to afford to go to a Texas Rangers game?

Maybe having the name "Rangers" means the team has to absurdley over-spend on player salaries, just like the New York Rangers of the NHL.

Review: South Park's 'Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics' -- "Simply, this is the ultimate stocking stuffer for the most fucked up member of your family."

That'd have to be me...
