Oh how the mighty have fallen!

Ahn flicks on a header inside the far post for a golden goal, off a Lee Young-pyo cross from left. Korea upsets Italy and moves on to quarterfinals to face Spain, in what is already its best performance ever. Ahn redeems his first-half miss on a penalty kick.

The US is the only team that Korea has played that hasn’t lost.

The [[2002 World Cup Playoff Brackets]] are getting mighty interesting!

Microsoft ships a virus with their product.

Microsoft accidentally sent the virulent Nimda worm to South Korean developers when it distributed Korean-language versions of Visual Studio .Net that carried the virus, the company acknowledged Friday.

I always knew Microsoft was evil (which is why I own a Mac), but I never thought they were stupid.

In another gutsy performance, [[Tiger]] outlasts all pursuers to get half way to the grand slam.

This is the best performance the US has ever had.

How many of you are excited about the possibilities, and the accomplishments of this team?

In a game of rough play and questionable calls, the US gets a 2-0 victory against bitter rival Mexico.

An early goal from Brian McBride set the tone, and goalkeeper Brad Friedel was again a key man for the Americans.

[[donovan_goal]]

You got that right. If you didn’t watch the game, shame on you. But if you did, you know that Friedel played like a Jedi Knight… able to predict the future and therefore react with amazing speed!

Next stop… the Germans.

More later.

And when he looks strong, everybody better watch out.

On a chilly, yet benign Long Island day, [[Tiger]] sidled up to those who performed well in the morning, surpassed them in the afternoon, fell back by the evening, but closed the day on top.

Poland spanked the US in the first round finale (with a little help from the referee).

The United States suffered defeat at the hands of Poland at Daejeon World Cup Stadium in Korea Friday but still advanced to the second round thanks to Korea Republic’s victory over Portugal (0:1). USA will next face Mexico in the round of 16…

If the US team plays to its potential, it should get to the round of 8. It’s beat Mexico 3 out of the last 4 times they’ve met.

Today starts the 101st US Open.

Can [[Tiger]] get the second leg of the grand slam this week?

YEAH! Where do I sign up for an early order?

In case you haven’t heard, Joe Straczynski has officially confirmed that Warner will be releasing the first full season of BABYLON 5 on DVD this fall, as a boxed set. JMS promises to add commentary to at least two episodes– probably [[Signs and Portents]], which introduces Mr. Morden and the Shadows, and [[Chrysalis]], the first-season cliffhanger. He’s also considering adding commentary to the time-travel tripper [[Babylon Squared]], as well as some sort of video introduction for the set.

The best SCI-FI series to ever be on television will finally get the DVD release it deserves!!!

It’s easier than ever to switch from a Windows PC to a Mac.

Using my PC was like being stuck in a bad relationship.

Yep. I feel your pain. Trust me, the Mac is the ONLY way to go.

The only catch? It was hard to sell my PC with integrity. Because when people asked me why I wanted to sell it, I couldn’t say, “It’s because I’m getting a Mac, and Macs are so much better.” You can’t just say that to people who are about to buy an inferior product, now can you?

When was the last time your computer seduced you?
