Came across this article the other day. Normally I'd call BS but it's from the NY Times which is a semi-credible newspaper.

Hi all, ESPN offers fantasy baseball leagues with the option for auction drafts. I personally like auction drafts over regular drafts since every team has an equal opportunity to get any player so draft position doesn't matter. I did a few last season and it works really well and the drafts...

I've been playing my PS3 more lately and really enjoyed the single player campaign for Resistance: Fall of Man and I'm currently playing through Killzone 2 which I also like a lot. I've been trying the multiplayer for both games, but I suck which doesn't exactly endear me with my teammates...

Best Buy is having a contest that gets you "VIP" treatment on Black Friday and a $1,000 gift card. Here's the link. Good luck!

This is actually pretty amazing. A computer scientist was able to mod an Xbox 360 into a working cardiac imaging device. I have to admit, the quality of the images are superior to what we use now. Very cool. Check out the article here.

Anyone here play Catan? I love this game and it's the only game I play online since I got XBL gold a month ago. Playing random people is getting to be too hit or miss for me and most of the time at least one person quits quite early in the match. I'm hoping to find friends that enjoy this...

I'm setting up a fantasy baseball keeper league on ESPN. I'm psyched to see that they offer an auction format which I think is the purest way to draft teams since it allows every team a shot at every player. If anyone is interested, please PM me. Keep in mind that an auction draft will...

Get a free ticket to an Orioles game on the month of your birthday. Can't use it for a Yankees or Red Sox game unfortunately but a nice gesture for their fans.

Chinese boy can see in the dark. I think they have the name of the condition wrong as "leukodermia" implies a skin rather than an eye condition. I've never heard of anything like this. It would be a pretty useful ability.

I'm looking to start up a fantasy baseball keeper league. I tried doing this last season but as in most fantasy sports leagues, aside from a few dedicated managers, most teams become dead and it isn't too much fun. I'm hoping to try again and am interested in finding motivated managers...

I'm the commish in a longstanding league that needs a few more managers. We're scheduled to draft today at 2:00 pm. The scoring is a bit different than the usual settings and we also use individual defensive players rather than team defense. However it is traditionally a very competitive...

After having had a charmed life for the past couple years, my Xbox 360 has started to freeze in the middle of games, sometimes even in the startup screen. At first I thought it might have been due to the heat so I moved it to a more open spot and I also have a fan for it but it still keeps...

I recently started getting my feet wet investing in the stock market and so far so good (up 3% for the month, not bad for a newbie). Just wondering if any other CAG's invest and maybe we could share stock tips and advice. My tip for whatever it's worth is Pfizer. Just bounced from its all...

Just wondering if there is any interest in a CAG ESPN Fantasy Baseball Keeper league. If you're interested just post here or PM me. I hope to have at least 10 teams but 12 would be ideal. It would be the entire MLB and I plan to have 4 keepers per year or do a contract year style (you have a...

Just a heads up, I was at my local Best Buy (Watertown, MA) and they were having a contest for a free Wii. Basically the first 150 to sign up have a chance to play the Wii Madden '08 QB skills challenge (you basically pass to receivers through hoops) with the highest score winning the Wii. I...

Watertown, MA Best Buy had a table with games labelled 50% off just for today. Not a great selection (I remember Juiced 2, Def Jam ICON, Stranglehold LE for Xbox 360 but they also had Virtua Fighter 5 for PS3 which was only $15 after the 50% off. But they also had third party guitar...

Interesting article from the NY Times about a week ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/us/18deter.html?_r=1&oref=login Personally, I support the death penalty simply because I feel that there are certain crimes heinous enough to warrant it but if it truly does deter crime and save lives...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/fun.games/06/06/wii.elbow.reut/index.html I'm surprised it hadn't come up sooner. Just a side note, I've noticed that lots of doctors seem to own Wii's.

I just learned yesterday that I was "volunteered" to give an hour long talk in 2 days to our department which about 200 people are going to be in attendence. While it's actually a honor to have be tabbed for this, needless to say, I'm a little nervous. Has anyone here ever been in a position...

Year of the Golden Pig, comes only once every 600 years and supposedly anyone born this year is guarenteed greath wealth and success. Shucks, just missed it by 30 years so I'm doomed to poverty.
