The Chicago Whitesox announced on Wednesday that they would change the start time of their home games from 7:07PM to 7:11 PM as part of a sponsorship deal with the 7-Eleven convenience store chain. In other news, the Baltimore Orioles announced that they would no longer be running the bases but would instead be riding Honda Motorcycles fueled with Texaco Gasoline and equipped with Firestone tires.  When asked for comment, Nascar Nextel Cup Driver Jeff Gordon said, "Well, the Dupont, Pepsi, Lowes Chevrolet Monte Carlo Team understands the need for sponsorship agreements.  We wish them all the best.  Speaking of which Best Buy is a great place for all your electronics purchases."  Thanks, Jeff.

Recent Windows security problems? No, you should know by now to keep your system patched and not to use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. (You know that, don’t you?)
Or, keeping with the Microsoft theme, how about the Zune? (computerworld via slashdot) Nah… everyone is talking about the Zune, it’s over done. Jack Thompson’s latest crusade against Rockstar and Take-Two? Like he needs more publicity.

No, what I needed was something new, unusual, yet relevant. Then I found it courtesy of Boing Boing: It’s Sausage! It’s Pancakes! It’s Chocolate Chips! AND (as if that wasn’t enough…) it’s on a stick. Would I lie? You must click for the picture. Oh, it’s worth it. (more…)
