Sudoku, head to head style. The stress mounts as your challenger's board blinks and fills. Bring it on.

Looking for a copy of a CD by the Bulgarian music group "Upsurt". I am totally hooked on
this song and I'm having trouble finding any releases by them for sale online. I'll pay purchase price and shipping+ if anyone can help me locate a copy. Also, bonus points if you can suggest any other great Eastern European pop/rap.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): Is there a resource where I could search for ETFs which have a particular stock holding? For instance, could I find an ETF that held INTL quickly, rather than combing through ETFs individually? (I'm not searching for INTL, just an example)

WeblogsInc Contract for Bloggers.
If you have ever been curious what the writers for
Weblogs Inc are held to, and get paid. I imagine that there are contract tweaks here and there for more in-demand talent, but it breaks down to $500 for 125 posts a month.

Why are all of the logos for major fast food chains red and yellow? Is this psychological, readable, an offshoot of McDonalds? The ones I have seen are McDonalds, Carl's, Wedy's, Burger King, In and Out, Sonic, KooKooRoo - I'm trying to find one that is not yellow/red.

Would it be possible to auto delete a post if the original author flags it as a double post? I double posted, I flagged it, but it is still there, perhaps I should be able to remove it?

Even with the big March event coming up, this is a hypothetical question. In a state like California, is there a legal way to bet on sports? Also, are there grey areas in betting, such as internet betting?

I'm going to Austin for a couple of days on business. Where should I eat dinner? Preferrably something close to downtown/sixth street so I can catch some music after. I don't eat too much beef, but steakhouses are ok as long as they have other stuff (chicken, fish, duck, even lamb).

New Laptop. I have a new laptop waiting for me (Dell/WinXP) when I get home next week and I want to treat this one right. The one I have now is three years old and has served its purpose, but has been stumbling lately. Any tips on making your laptop last longer? (specifics inside)

I've been Drudged! How can the drudgereport launch a popup window when I am using Firefox? It is the only site that seems to be able to do that. Constructive answers only please, I'm sure that the first response will be "don't read drudge". I can't help it, I love sensationalism.

Coral: The NYU Distribution Network
"Are you tired of clicking on some link from a web portal, only to find that the website is temporarily off-line because thousands or millions of other users are also trying to access it? Does your network have a really low-bandwidth connection, such that everyone, even accessing the same web pages, suffers from slow downloads? Have you ever run a website, only to find that suddenly you get hit with a spike of thousands of requests, overloading your server and possibly causing high monthly bills? If so, Coral might be your free solution for these problems!"

cin-o-matic,
it's a tool to help people decide what movies to go see or rent. The interface is simple and is growing on me, the url is hard to share by word of mouth, and it integrates with netfilx. [by and via

DOWN FOR THE COUNT
At around 8:50, Soubirous’s campaign manager, Brian Floyd, received a call from an election observer in Temecula informing him that the vote count had been stopped – apparently by Registrar Mischelle Townsend herself. The reason was not made clear. So Floyd and another Soubirous campaigner named Art Cassel jumped into a car and drove to Townsend’s office to investigate. Sure enough, the counting area appeared to be near-deserted. But then they noticed two men huddled at one of the vote tabulation computers.

White Papers. I need to write one, but can't put together a good enough google search to find some examples and tips, most of what I'm getting is pay-to-write-your-paper sites. Anyone have some tips on writing them and/or good reference sites?

Photobucket.com
A free place to dump pictures you want to hotlink from sites like eBay, Craigslist, or even your personal site. There is a 100MB limit, but
even that isn't absolute. This seems like a too good to be true service, how long can something like this last?

Splinter removal. I got a gnarly splinter last night walking past a light pole, it's very deep and I can't seem to get it out. I soaked my hand, which I found out was wrong because it expands the wood, I tried grabbing it with tweezers, but it's too deep. I tried google, but could only find a few suggestions, any tried and true methods of getting out a DEEP (and painful) splinter?

Why I hate Personal Weblogs
While the Introduction to this psuedo-research paper is a bit rough and profane, I couldn't help but agree with much of the content, although I generally don't hate personal weblogs. I particularly enjoyed
Chapter 2 - Why Do They Do It, as well as the the final snippet which asserts:
I, in an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff of weblog authors, propose that all weblog authors create a Statement of Audience once per month (or, every two weeks if possible) to facilitate understanding of their place in the universe and the importance of their writings.

The launch page for Super Sticky Post It Notes
has a creepy staged picture of a mom handing her daughter a post-it laden lunch box. Besides the creepy look on mom's face and the reminder post-it stuck to the
outside of the front door, I also like how the writing on each post it is
horizontal, regardless of the orientation of the post it. It's like one of those "can you pick out the 12 things wrong with this picture" games. I love advertising.

Hulking out.
I don't know what is more overwhelming, the sheer number of products tied in with the new Hulk movie, or the amount of detail
kokogiak collected on the subject. I'm trying to remember another movie that had this variety of marketing tie ins (
Slim Jim? Shot glasses? Jello?)

Blogger moxie.nu acuses another blogger of identity theft
. The other blogger,
moxiepop.com, fires back,
saying she got harassed by moxie.nu's readers and that
she had never seen moxie.nu's site before. Another blogger
goes on the offensive and accuses moxiepop of imitating moxie.nu. Comments start flying on moxie.nu and are ultimately closed by the host. Some other blogs step in, supporting moxiepop (
1,
2,
3) and supporting moxie.nu (
1,
2,
3).
Tim Blair chimes in,
Andrea Harris has a few words,
Jim Treacher calls for some Moxie Boxing, and
Kevin Parrott adds Rockem Sockem Moxies. A delightful train wreck for all to see.

With the rising tensions on the Korean border, it seems like a good time to get a first hand account on the situation. Insightful observations like,

Moleskine notebooks
I picked up my first Moleskine a few months ago and have been carrying it around everywhere, jotting down notes to myself, more stream of conscious than a journal. The pocket notebooks come in a
variety of styles, including a Japanese Pocket Album that is one 60 page long continuous fold out sheet for making timelines, long drawings or photo albums. Even my plain notebook has a small pocket in the back cover to stick keepsakes (
ticket stubs maybe?) as well as a built in bookmark and elastic strap to keep the book closed. Other
bloggers also love their Moleskines. Not to be a product ad, but the combination of design simplicity and utility really make these notebooks a functional piece of art. It also helps to have a nice, small pen to carry with the journal.

Game Neverending.
There are at least two kinds of games. One could be called finite, the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play. The game is in alpha right now, but it has managed to take over my free time. There is not a clear goal or purpose in the game, other than to keep experiencing and making. I can't figure out what has hooked me in.

A course that uses LEGO beams,
plates, gears, motors, a 68HC11 microcontroller board programmed in C, and various sensors to construct autonomous (i.e., self-contained, no direct human control) robots to hunt down and retrieve eggs. How come I never got to make
things like this when I got my engineering degree? There's
video too. Other cool projects are a
walking machine, a
human powered sub, or a
future truck. I wish the real world of engineering was as fun and creative as college.
