“A federal court in Oklahoma has blocked the national “do not call” list that would allow consumers to stop most unwanted telephone sales calls, one week before it was due to take effect.” UNBELIEVABLE!

Woah. Sirius Satellite Radio has a $399 lifetime subscription plan. Hmmmmmmmm!

Okay, I’ve decided that the folks over at SaveFarscape.com are officially weirdos. They’re now holding a fan fiction (‘fanfic’) contest. That, my friends, is when the effort to save the show officially jumped the shark in my book. Hey, I want new episodes too, but saying that you write fan fiction is like telling everybody…

Does anyone know of a decent Windows mail client? You’d think that by now there would be a good one, but there really isn’t. I’ve been using Eudora for ages, and 6.0 just came out, but it still feels like I’m using software that hasn’t changed or been majorly upgraded in a decade. The Bat!…

That’s good news because I just can’t stand that guy and now…

Do you remember The Bard’s Tale series of PC games from way back in the day? They made three of them, and they were all pretty good. I remember playing The Bard’s Tale II like a madman late into the night on my Apple IIGS. I consider the series to be the template by which…
