I'm heading up to Whistler next week. It's always a tough decision for winter break a) board in the alpine bliss and use the pools and hot-tubs for warmth, or b) hit up Hawai'i. You can only ski part of the year, and Hawai'i isn't going anywhere. But that picture makes me think I made the wrong decision.

Remember: he would have loved to wear a rainbow everyday.

So I picked up the logitech GT steering wheel (not the $300 version) and now I have to figure out what I should mount it on. Its far to powerful and uncomfortable to rest on my legs. Any suggestions? I have neither the space real estate or fiance-relationship wise for one of the custom stands. I'm thinking a simple tv…

@bUCKEYEs75, Masked Defender of the Gamecube: I like it better when you guys have to read and emphasize the "THE" in front of the Ohio State. You guys look so well-read when you do that.

@eMeS: No I don't need to reference Wisconsin "bitch slapping" (so 1990's a term) the team you referenced. Michigan State didn't even play that team which is above them in the rankings and BCS . You also noticeably failed to mention MSU's loss to Iowa THRITY SEVEN to SIX. The pollsters, standings, even artificial…

@PathRifter: Your smurf tears of you and your insufferable bandwagon brethren will sustain me for eons. (along with Notre Dame and Florida's implosion). If you were really the number 3 team in the country, you NEVER would have been in such a dogfight to an unranked team. Also, nobody but a couple university presidents…

ON WISCONSIN! I'm thankful too for the Boise State loss. The bad news is UW is projected to play TCU another team that should be invited to a playoff game, but probably wouldn't survive the challenge. The game is a lose-lose for Wisconsin. If Wisconsin wins, nobody would be impressed given TCU's weak schedule. If…

@Dakobah: As a newly engaged man, I already got asked where I am going to put my steering wheel for GT5. It was a big victory, but it will cost more than the $100 bones I spent. This evening was spent looking at bar cabinets at Crate & Barrel.

I picked up the Logitech Driving Force Wheel for GT5 for $50 off of its listed $150 price. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to use it (on my lap?).

I'm installing GT5 now in the hopes I can play it on Turkey Day. As for Friday, I am working which is heaven compared to shopping on Black Friday. I could take it off, but I'd rather use my PTO for actual vacation days. Besides, I know I'll only need to work 4.5 hours to get the full 8 hours credit.

Anyone know of a good case capable of protecting the iphone4 on the mountain? I would like one where I could record video without removing the case and if it has a leash for me to attach to my pants or outer shell that would be great as well.

Remember two years ago when Sony had a HUGE Playstation announcement and everyone expected a price cut on the PS3? Then they announced a price cut on the PS2? Announcing the Beatles are on itunes would be about as big a let down. If you don't already have the albums (and presumably ripped them to itunes), then I don't…

I feel for whoever had to roll out all that marzipan. Unless its fondant in which case, the cake topping tastes like a tootsie roll.

It won't be the same without being 10 years younger living in a dorm that has since been torn down for health and sanitary reasons, and chiefing with my floor mates. Context it seems, is everything.

@2NinjasTapedTogether:

This will have to do since the next Bond movie is postponed indefinitely. I wish Showtime would stop showing Quantum of Solace to remind me how great the Craig and the reboot is.

I could watch these types of videos forever. The video 60 minutes ran of San Francisco's Market Street just a couple days before the 1906 earthquake awed me.

@Zinger314: Holy Shit. I was just about to bring up Tesla. I was going to insult Edison for taking Teslas work. But I'm bias after reading The Invention of Everything Else.

I'd like a pair specifically designed for those of us who stare at excel grid-lines all day. They will be about as awesome as you can imagine.

Nice demo...although I presume Fahey has a different take. How would it work if you were sitting on your couch making the gestures?
