I spent some time today visiting some old haunts. Obviously, /., but also:

I miss Leo and Kate... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screen_Savers

Yeah, I guess some where along the way I got busy and forgot my geeks roots...

I'm back....

The revolution has begun.

My hope is that Donald's resignation isn't the last. And that our President gets the message that the American People sent on Tuesday.

And here we go again:

1. Ohio State
No arguement here. They seem to be the best team in the country. Of course, they'll be tested when Michigan comes a'callin.

2. USC
By the skin of their teeth. I don't expect USC to survive Oregon, Cal, or Notre Dame.

3. Michigan
The second best team in the country. Maybe better than Ohio State.

4. Auburn
Huh? Number 4? I think Saturday's victory was more emotion than skill.

Rocks.

Laird is fucking nuts.

Nuts I say!

And if you're wondering, Laird is over 6 feet tall... so, yes those waves are 20 and 30 footers.

Woot!

Thinning of the herd in College Football.

Auburn fell and fell hard. Florida travels to Auburn this weekend. If Florida comes out with a win, they should be #1 in the country.

USC... wow. Life sucks for them. Did you watch the Oregon v Cal game? Hehe. USC could be 9 and 2 when they face my Irish.

West Virginia is still the most overrated team in the world.

Michigan is the most underrated team in the country. Should be #3.

My top 5:

Because it's an organization that would actually consider firing Joe Torre. Ignorant knobs. George is a terrible for Baseball.

think they're backassward?

Ga. mother seeks Harry Potter ban

ATLANTA - A suburban county that sparked a public outcry when its libraries temporarily eliminated funding for Spanish-language fiction is now being asked to ban Harry Potter books from its schools.

1) GOD BLESS Oktoberfest!

2) DA BEARS! 4 and 0 baby!

3) House Speaker Dennis Hastert is a liar.

4) Sec of State Rice is a liar.

5) Stanford rocks!

About a month ago I found a show called The Alternative on VH1 Classics. Wow. B-Side videos of mainstream and not-so-mainstream acts from the 70s 80s and 90s.

What hooked me was a video for New Order's Perfect Kiss - which I consider on of the best songs ever written.

Which leads me to my subject line: New Order. I have rediscovered a favorite band of mine from High School.

Amazing songs.

According to the VA:

There is no such thing as Gulf War syndrome, even though U.S. and foreign veterans of the war report more symptoms of illness than do soldiers who didn't serve there, a federally funded study concludes.

Ok. Fine. We are 15 years removed from the First Gulf War and we're still "researching" and "determining" what level of benefits these folks should be given?

What the fuck are you talking about!?

1. Ohio State
2. Notre Dame
3. Auburn
4. USC
5. West Virginia
6. LSU
7. Florida
8. Texas
9. Florida State
10. Georgia

So, my Irish host Big Blue this weekend. So excited - I'm counting down... Auburn scares me right now. So much speed, very much like an Auburn team of 20 years ago and a guy named Bo. LSU is young and full of inexperienced, but talented players. They have yet to face a real opponent. This week we have Auburn hosting LSU. HUGE game!

Dayton's Top 5:

1. ND
2. Ohio State
3. Florida
4. VA Tech
5. Cal

Yeah... so, Cal wasn't ready for the big boy league. Give 'em time. Seeing LSU play and how quick they are, I gotta say that Florida may not finish in the top 5. But I won't. Florida has more talent and a better coach. My top 3 remain unchanged.
