Out of the Blue

A comment in our forums about the cup stacking video from yesterday suggested it would make a great Olympic sport... here here! I don't agree that curling is the first sport to drop in its favor (I'm thinking synchronized swimming myself), but it does seem to have more spectator value than many, if not most spectator sports.

Sad news for you rabid FarScape fans, an update on The Digital Bits (thanks Mike Asbury) has word on how the Sci Fi channel has opted out of their contract for the show's fifth and sixth seasons, and offers details on where to write if you wish to express your ire over this to the powers-that-be, and there's even more on the just-launched Save Farscape campaign.

My life of spam is now over thanks to Spam Detective. It even works with Hotmail. Note: I do NOT work for them or own stock in Emtec. I just hate spam and want others to benefit from my recent discovery of this awesome software. http://www.emtec.com/spamdetective/

Awww, he is just sending along URLs like everybody else. Irregardless of whomever sends them in, I generally find no more than 20% of the URLs on Blue's site to be "new;" most I have seen recently, a number of them are week-old stories/items, and some more than a few months old. All that is without visiting any of the sites that are popular for finding interesting URLs; that 20% is definitely an inflated number. Finally, I have sent in URLs more than once only to have Stephen point out that my "new" URL is quite old.

Besides, Blue's is kind of an all-in-one website to visit for gaming and it is not like there is a large staff...

Doing my usual shrug :),

Hey guys...

Anyone else disturbed by what's behind Palladium/TCPA? I know I am. Electronic independent thought police...? Perhaps. Or maybe I'm just a little paranoid.

Heh, being single I hesitate to call my living room, or whole house for that matter, a "Man Room" (sounds a little.... you know) - but I've got most of the toys you just mentioned fired up in front of me right now. Including, of course, the DTV NFL package. Next week I'm wheeling in another TV which will alow me to watch 3 games at once including the picture in picture on the big screen. One thing I don't have is an old mechanical pinball game - something I've always wanted.

The only bad part of today is that the Eagles lost a game they weren't supposed to win but had a chance to.

At least the Eagles will win some games. I'm a Seahawk fan and they looked pathetic. I guess losing your starting QB, both tackles, best DT, and best linebacker will do that to a team.

*** As usual, I could be wrong. But really, what are the odds of that happening twice? ***

We'd go to http://news.yahoo.com

Some times I see these links at http://drudgereport.com

I just figured that most of the people that read this page don't frequent that one so everybody wins.

Mighty slow around here so I'll add that I worked over the past day and a half putting up new paneling in my basement rec room. I 'inhereted' a 53" TV a month ago and I'm in the process of creating a 'Man Room' in my basement. I have the TV and surround sound. I'm ripping out the florescent lighting this week and installing hi-hats in a series of three, each on it's own dimmer. I'm recarpting, buying a small fridge for beer, and finding a good used pinball game. Now all I have to do is convince the wife that we need to add a couple of neon beer signs (Bass Ale and Guiness pref.). I might just go ahead and build that MAME mod case that was highlighted here a couple of weeks ago.

The only bad part of today is that the Eagles lost a game they weren't supposed to win but had a chance to. Oh well, hopefully they will smack the skins around next week.

We'd go to http://news.yahoo.com and read the same headlines that Mike sends to Blue. Pretty soon, Blue's ETC section will just link to news.yahoo.com, and save us the trouble.

Hey Mike, got any *gaming* news? (although, to be honest, the link to the vibrating Nimbus 2000 Amazon.com reader's comments was the funniest thing I've read on the internet in 5 years). But the article about Japan testing shuttle technology has been posted on Yahoo for the past 2 weeks. Even Yahoo is getting tired of reading it.
