Great deals on computer stuff

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite Keyboard w/Tilt Mouse Combo
Purchased: 3B Tech.net
Price (after tax, s/h, rebates): $53.00 Now only $19.89!!! Crazy.
Ben’s Bargain Center has the scoop on the 24″ 1920×1200 Dell Widescreen LCD for $780 shipped. If that’s more screen than you need, Ben’s also got info on the 20″ widescreen ($395) and the 19″ regular aspect ($276). The latter two, however, aren’t quite big enough for four-tabling. Now that Party’s letting you open 10 tables at once, you really should pick up two of the 24 inchers.

I don’t know what was going on with the commenting on this blog, but apparently even registered TypeKey users weren’t able to sign in and comment. I’ve turned unregistered commenting back on for the time being. I’ll try installing the next version of MT and see if that helps any.

The Onion: Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New ‘Intelligent Falling’ Theory
KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held “theory of gravity” is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.
“Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, ‘God’ if you will, is pushing them down,” said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.
…and yet I wouldn’t be too surprised if this were true.
