Dennis Weaver's house is for sale. It was built with old tires and solar power, in an effort to be environmentally friendly. Apparently it worked, because the 10,000 square foot home has an average electric bill of $50

This guy has 5 terabytes of hard drive space in one case. That's too many hard drives.

I didn't realize how far along the internet had come in replacing television until lately. Sure, you can download podcasts and tv shows made for the internet, but it wasn't until this morning that someone suggested searching youtube for wrestling matches. The quality isn't always the best, but you can see the Ganso Bomb, full Midnight Express matches, Dean Malenko~!, pretty much anything. I found an interview with J.J. Dillion BEFORE he managed Flair.

Throwies are homemade, disposable LEDs with magnets. This video looks neat, but i'd hate to be responsible for clearing them off later.

PostSecret lets you send in postcards anonymously, and judging by these, a lot of people are really unhappy on Valentine's Day.

To Bill Brasky!
"Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off lookin' for a bar and we can't find one. Finally, Brasky takes me into a vacant lot and says, Here we are!' Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us! Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it and then burnt the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found them!'"

A long time ago, there was a story about a batter kicking the catcher and charging the mound at a minor league game. I present the video evidence.

The Speed Demo Archive has lots of videos of people finishing games in scary amounts of time.

"One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 percent by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic advisor said Wednesday that the president didn't mean it literally."
In that spirit, I propose that I exercise 75% more by 2007, wake up 50% earlier each day, and work 90% harder.
