I enjoyed watching the tounament this year but I was disappointed a "Cinderella" did not come out of the brackets. As for my own bracket, a fairly pedestrian performance: Of the 63 games (the play-in game is typically a freebie), I correctly picked winners in 51 games which gave me 1430 points using the scoring system from the ESPN Tournament Challenge. At least I beat President Obama and Tony Kornheiser.
It's that time of year again -- NCAA® Division I Men's Basketball Championship scores and live video courtesy of CBSSports.com and NCAA.com! (Live video requires Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or above, Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 or above, and Microsoft Silverlight 2.)
One of our pastimes is playing first person shooters such as the games in the Quake series. Every now and then, we come across something that someone has "updated" for the FPS genre. This particular piece has been around for a while but we still get a laugh out of it.

While I still like the small desktop footprint of my original foobar theme, I find the design a bit cumbersome when navigating though the various tabs. This new theme covers a bit more desktop real estate but I am just a single click from any playlist or feature. Two playlist views are included in the theme, a "grouped by album" view and a tracklist view. I also added a few custom buttons, the new visualization elements and foosion's Text Display UI element (to display lyrics). I usually size the foobar2000 window to 800 x 600 but maximizing the window to 1600 x 1200 will reveal additional columns for Last Played, Play Count, Style, Tag Matrix, and Item Index.

Ryly and I took a week-long vacation to New England in late May 2008. While we were there, we spent a day touring Ryly's hometown of Natick, Massachusetts. We walked through the historic downtown area, visited her elementary school, met the current owners of the house Ryly grew up in, and climbed to the top of her favorite sleddin' hill.
When we returned home, Ryly stitched together over a dozen photographs in Photoshop to produce the above panorama from the summit of Coolidge Hill. (The file size is 8,171 KB so it might take a while to load, depending on the speed of your connection.)
