Robo UGA, really? Really? Only if it’s armed with a death ray….

Sounds like a classic case of cutting it’s nose off to spite it’s face. Just means people will look elsewhere…

With the addition of facial recognition to Picasa 3.5, here are some of the faces I chose to ignore, some famous (for example, first 11 on the top row are Sheryl Crow), some just faces in the crowd, 7,643 in all…

Double the amount of Premier League games I can watch now… All they need now is to reach a deal with the SPL and I’ll be as happy as a pig in shit…

Sad end to a great career…

Some have been documented and tonight was another classic…

But first, I need to set the stage. We’re whittling down the TiVo season pass list as it’s spiralled out of control over the years, and at the very bottom there was one listed just as “(5 WTVI)” nothing more, nothing less.

Robyn: How can it record nothing?
Me: Maybe it’s like The Neverending Story, the nothing encroaching on Fantasia. Maybe we need to go to the swamp of sadness to find the answer?
Robyn: ATREYU!!!!
Me: ARTAX! YOU GOTTA KEEP BELIEVING!!!! DON’T GIVE IN!!!
Robyn: Retard…

Yep, that’s me…
