Go Sox! I just hope they still have the mental focus after downing the Yanks. Did anybody catch the Daily Show piece about the kid who thinks the Curse of the Banbino is broken because a foul ball knocked out two of his teeth and he lives in Babe Ruth's old house? The segment was titled "Ruth-less People."
Interesting... assuming that Ben posted a link directly to amazon.com, it looks like blogger rewrote it so that it generates a referal from blogger.com. Oh... and go sox!
It depends on which school of curse the Banbino one comes from. If it's from the Transylvanian Vampire school then a small token such as a drop of blood from the nth descendent of some French saint is enough to break a curse. But if it's from the Volcanic Pacific Island school of curses then something more significant such as a whole virgin tossed into a volcano would be required. But just to be on the safe side, since you're in Boston, Ben, maybe you can go clobber the guy with a baseball bat a few times? He didn't look very big on TV and it would be for a good cause so the police would probably be very understanding. :)
So you got a Tivo? What happened to the MythTV box that you were thinking about building?
Hmm... I don't know if MIT virgins count. There might be a difference between voluntary and involuntary virgins. :)
So Ben, you picked easier over endless hours of hacking? I believe that's called "getting old", especially since you're now the same age as me again. The one thing I think MythTV might do for me is I would be able to get a couple of wireless multimedia receivers and be able to watch the recorded programs on any TV instead of just the one it's hooked up to. Unfortunately all the receivers only work with Windows right now. But I'm sure younger people than me will have the time to figure all that stuff out.

Hmmm... I'm sure there are plenty of virgins around MIT-- do you think a baking sode volcano would be sufficient?
