You can win the World Series every year. You only have one chance to destroy the Yanks.

Saturday night was the first two seasons in microcosm. When you think they’re done, they rally. When you think they’ve […]

Planetdan’s collection of high school senior photographs is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the net in a long time. It’s laugh out loud material and had me in stitches.
TrafficGauge September 15th, 2004 @ 12:36 am PDT
Now this is something cool: TrafficGauge™. It’s a PDA-type device that sits on your dashboard and displays up-to-date highway traffic. They have it for Seattle and LA. This is the sort of thing I always expected I’d someday be able to do on my Axim, so I’m actually a bit peeved that I would be […]
