CHOKE! -- 11:04 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The New York Yankees (yes, the Yankees) just completed a historic choke, becoming the first major league baseball team to lose a seven-game series after leading three games to none. I'm no Bosox fan, but the schadenfreude is too much to resist. I can't wait to hear the Steinbrenner tirade after this bad boy. Unfortunately as a Tigers fan, this is the closest I can expect to come to enjoying a pennant any time soon.

Eeyore comments: Woot!

NFL Week #6 Final -- 12:26 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Eeyore and I had a proverbial whale of a weekend, finishing off at a scintillating 12-2. Year-to-date that makes me 57-31 (.648) while Eeyore is 50-38 (.568). Dare I say sizzle? Fo' shizzle!

I'd like to apologize to everyone in the world for that last sentence.

Everyone in the world comments: We do not accept your apology.

Cegeda 4.1 Released -- 10:10 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Transgaming has released Cedega 4.1, the latest version of their WINE gaming fork. The big changes are support for Far Cry and Anarchy Online as well as AGP improvements. Check out the release notes for all the details. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cedega/WineX, it allows Linux users to play Windows games. I've used it quite successfully with Jedi Academy, Jedi Knight II, and Diablo II, among others.

Florida Voting Problems -- 8:49 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Ars Technica has a news blurb on how there are already voting problems in Florida. The touch screens barfed. Servers crashed. People waited in line for over two hours. And this is all with the early voting! Can't you imagine what it will be like in two weeks? Can't we just remove Florida from the Union?

The Master comments: Actually, I believe they tried to remove themselves a couple years back. A big fuss was made about it :-)
