Cool

Thanks to Cam World for pointing out this $399 computer from Walmart. When did Wally’s World start selling PC’s with no OS? That’s not a bad deal at all, seems like a pretty powerful machine, but no network card sort of sucks. That can be dealt with. I’ve never used a Microtel machine, anyone have some insight?

I found the coolest site ever for a hockey nut like me, The Internet Hockey Database. It lists stats and stuff for players from all the minor leagues, colleges, international leagues, everything! I stumbled upon it trying to find out whether the Len Soccio who played for Germany in the Olympics is the same Len Soccio who played for the ECHL’s Columbus Chill back in 1991-92. Try getting that from ESPN! The Internet DB had him though, and it is him! Very cool to see him still playing and doing so well in the German leagues. (He’s been playing there long enough that he apparently has German citizenship of some sort, hence his appearance in the Olympics.) He was so popular in his brief stay here that my friend even named his dog Soccio! (Yeah I think it’s sort of weird too *L*)

    I made it home late Friday night. Got a late start from KC and then an unfotunate meeting between a Saturn and a school bus on I-70 in downtown St. Louis created hovac with traffic long enough to turn this trip into something quite a bit longer than I expected it to be. No biggie,…

    I got an email this morning from a long-lost blogger, Brad Murphy. Some of you long-time readers may remember back a few years ago when Brad was trying out his hand at blogging, but life got in the way and he had to give it up. Now he’s back with The Late Night Geek-Out. (The…

    Much to the chagrin of my geeky side, yesterday while trying to figure out how to remotely check messages on our new answering machine, I accidentally erased the greeting instead of the message and had to record a new one. I recorded a new one, but in the course of telling Angela about this little…
