• Commented on Rockbox open jukebox firmware looking for student hackers to "spend Google's money"
  I saw mention of a RockBox app for running on devices without replacing the firmware. I assume that this refers to devices such as PocketPCs and PALMs? SmartPhones and the like? I use a HP iPAQ 4150 as my mediaplayer....

• Commented on Yankee Stadium squirrel linked to Norse mythology
  I can't belive that Randy Johnson didn't make the list of notable "Animal in a ball park" stories... What a way to psyche a batter out... kinda puts "Hey, batter batter batter..." to shame. Link...
