Neuros. Love the FM output so that it can be wirelessly hooked up to existing car stereo, home tuner, etc – John Robb’s Radio Weblog. Now we just need a better wireless connection, one which doesn’t suffer from the range compression and other artifacts of FM.

Geek Fishing. Tong’s new tech blog, focused on wireless toys and ideas – Geek Fishing. OK I am now officially involved with blogs using Radio, Cafelog, and Blogger. Now I want a meta-blogging client that will let me edit and create content, and post it to any and all of my blogs.

Bluetooth pains. Comments from Bob Frankston on Bluetooth. I have also heard that Bluetooth as a PAN is a bit problematic as it puts even more pressure on device batteries and puts even more hi-freq radiation near your skull. I wonder if this is true.

BCS 11/11. My projections were darn close to the actuals – Bowl Championship Series - Full Rankings Chart. I gave Miami more credit for improving schedule strength than they actually got. I had all the computer components right. We’ll see how I do next Saturday.

My BCS Predicts – 11/10. OK trying my hand at my own predictions, we’ll see how I do tomorrow versus the professional pundits. Based on what I know right now – the AP and ESPN polls, a few of the computer polls – I predict OSU is still #1 tomorrow with 3.37 points, compared to Miami at 3.9. It is going to be very hard for Miami to overcome OSU’s quality win points from the WSU win.

If I was a kid. I’d want one of these for Christmas – french sloop model boat – I love any sort of boat model. And a chemistry set – tho in these days of extreme product safety the sets have been terribly neutered. When I was a kid I used to build models and promptly blow them up with firecrackers – combining these two great gifts into one merged orgy of creation and destruction. I am not really sure what this says about me but it is probably not good.
