FYI: Last few hours to sign up before 1 hour prior to kick off tonight! (and make your picks if you haven't done so already!)!!!
Shanarra was nice enough to take charge and setup the 3rd (4th?) annual random drivel NFL football pool. I lost my credentials/account information from last year so it's at a new address randomdrivel2.football.sportsline.com/e You'll need to sign up for a CBS sportsline ID and know the football pool password which is randomdrivel2
Going to invite folks from our sister site byopvr and shanarra was going to see if the politico's over at MySpinzone could put down the rhetoric for a minute and make some football picks.
Last years winner almost got a randomdrivel mug... Congrats Marty =)
To make it more interesting this year, I'm going to up the prize a little bit.
The overall winner of the season long pool is going to get a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 "retail" edition TV tuner/encoder card so that they can have most of what they need (sans PC) to make your own tivo. Although, regretfully I'll only ship the price in the continental US.

Let me take a second from the starwars links and humor to post a PSA =)
A friend of mine is running a pretty cool program that takes underprivledged / underserved / disadvantaged youth and teaches them about sailing and of course takes them sailing called Sea-Legs.
The aspects of this initiative are outlined as follows:
* Organize a sequential progression of maritime skills to challenge young sailors from introductory to advanced levels of participation.
* Develop materials to present these skills, give students activities that will lead to mastery, and determine that a given student has mastered a given skill.
* Create a ranking system, based on these skills, by which a young sailor can progress and gain status as mariner.
* Create an interactive web site to serve as a repository for these skills, activities and rankings that will be accessible and attractive to the youth-sailors, their parents or guardians, and the schools or other programs that wish to take part.

Almost everyone has heard that if you take Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and watch The Wizard of Oz, it seems to make follow along and parts of the movie happen in sequence to the music.
I've never tried it, but the sheer volume of people I've heard about it from pretty much confirms it's veracity. Now we may be in store for another example of this. It has been claimed that the album Homework by Daft Punk syncs up perfectly to Transformers: The Movie.
rampy--> ah synchronicity I think is the term. TheBryon has a copy of the TF movie on DVD (you've got the touch, you've got the powwwwwweeeeer!), but where the heck am I gonna get a copy of Daft Punk's "Homework"? Is this just a ploy/hoax to sell Daft Punk albums?! *Shrug*
