I'll pass along what I learned to lick my sound card woes from last night in case it may help someone else: If you have Norton Antivirus and a Diamond Monster Sound MX300, make sure the line in your autoexec.bat that loads the Norton DOS NAV dealie is before the line that loads the MX300's DOS support program. Thanks Matthew Petrie from Falcon Northwest for the best tech support call I've ever had.

I don't want to seem like an HBO shill after my repeated recommendations for the Sopranos (which just keeps getting better), but Richard Jeni's HBO special is a scream. I had no idea he was so funny.

Yesterday's pop culture quote was from Splash, which also was good for this one, passed along by Floyd Turbo: "No, nobody's around, just me and the moron twins." ... "We're not twins."

Link of the Day: The web's only (known) Duct Tape Art Gallery. Thanks Loping.
