Duke Sucks
Very satisfying win, and I am damned proud of our team.
A couple of pictures from the game that I particularly like.

If it moves, they will tax it
Complete and utter bullshit. As if I needed more reasons not to go to Texas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and soon Virginia.
American government at every level has turned to shit.

Hydraulic-hybrid Ford F-150
This is a pretty cool sounding technology. I would certainly be interested in buying into it, cause I like the F-150's a lot. If they could get this tech working, then it would elliminate the reason why I don't have a big truck like that: gas mileage.
Of course, with Ford struggling financially, who knows if it will ever see the light of day.
Still, I like the idea of the technology. It sounds a lot simpler than the electric hybrids (I am all about the K.I.S.S. principle), and of course gets rid of the toxic chemicals involved in the battery systems of those cars. I would hope they also have it so that the car's electrical system is not charged from the combustion engine. That is one of the huge inefficiencies of current standard gas powered vehicles.

Renovations
As you can see, I have changed the template I use for this blog. The old one was too narrow to display picture goodness without the pictures overlapping, or rather underlapping, thesidebar. So this one works better. Since it is wider, the text will be a bit harder to read, but I will come up with something for that. The color scheme is Garnet&Gold now (GO NOLES!!!), though I have a few more changes I need to do on the stylesheet to make everything just so.

Google: Do Evil
This is a fantastic article on Google's immense mistake in getting into the DRM nasty business. The sheer stupidity of corporate America never ceases to amaze me.
I have a large DVD collection, but I haven't bought new ones at the pace I used to buy, largely because Hollywood has been putting out almost nothing but complete crap for the past decade or so. DRM on DVD's isn't as big an issue for me since I generally just watch them at home, but the few times I have wanted to watch a DVD on my computer, it has been a pain in the ass, and made the prospect of spending more money on DVD's in the future a considerably smaller value for me.
I haven't bought a music CD in years. The music industry is even worse than the movie industry when it comes to crappy product. And, in the case of music, I never listen to it at home on my stereo, when I do listen it is always on my computer. There is no way I am going haul around a bunch of CD's with my laptop. No, it'll be MP3's. And of course the RIAA doesn't like that.
Anyway, read the article.
