Zidane's Red Card

Maybe not all Soccer players are complete babies. Here is Zidane's

headbutt that got him kicked out of the match and a Red Card. This

ended his team's chance of winning the world cup, but he's not a push

over.

Stolen Sidekick on Ebay

I am sure a lot of you have heard about the Stolen Sidekick story by now. If you haven't, you can catch up at Stolen SideKick. The whole story is there and an interesting story it is.

Now, that said, if you have been following the story and have way too much money laying around, you can bid on the very same stolen sidekick. As of this posting the bid was at $2,250.00, for a three hundred dollar item. 

The auction is at Ebay , but beware there have been other people trying to impersonate Evan and his sidekick.

 

Update 07/04/2006:  Bid has gone to $3150.00 now.......

Update 07/10/2006:  Can you believe it? The Stolen Sidekick went for $3600.00 on Ebay.

CD-R Life Expectancy

Here I am thinking that all the photos, games, and misc data I have backed up on CD-R is perfectly safe.

Turns out, these cheap CD-R have only a two year average life, according to an IBM expert. The more expensive ones will last up to 5 years longer than the cheap ones.  

The music CDs and movie DVDs you purchase in the stores are pressed rather than burnt and should be around for your great grand children.

The whole story can be read @ http://www.theage.com.au/news/cameras--videos/burning-for-the-long-haul/2006/06/14/1149964545127.html
