Here's the DIY lasertag system I tried building. http://www.lasertag.de/ I got pretty close (one of my breadboards could send a signal that the other would recognize about five feet away on a sunny day without lenses), but got frustrated with my in-system-programming attempts and abandoned it.

There's another similar system at http://www.darktag.com/new/home/

I haven't had time to look at this MilesTag thing yet, so I can't say how it compares to the others.

Random GameFAQs Thread ( link )

There's gotta be a MOTD here somewhere. The question is, which?
Crinx: I don't use windower when I exp, mostly because it kills my FPS and my attention span to have Windower, Winamp, porn, Sound Forge, Homestarrunner.com, and Doom 3 all running at the same time.

No2Wookie: Truly there can be nothing better than porn and doom 3 at the same time.

yomjoseki: Porn + Donkey Konga + Doom

Angechu: If you time it right, you can beat off and keep up the Donkey Konga beat at the same time!

No2Wookie: If you can beat off to donkey kong, you are uber.

Todai: Japanese Buffet ( link )

Great place; just came back from it. Todai has many locations, all over the place. If you get a chance to go, I highly recommend it.

FYI: Dinner buffet was ~$26. The selection is huge + crepe bar. I'll bring my digital camera next time.

For most of the day of the courthouse shootings, authorities in Georgia and surrounding states searched for a 1997 green Honda Accord that police say Nichols stole from an Atlanta newspaper reporter in a downtown parking garage.

The car was found late Friday night in the same garage, on a level below the spot where police say Nichols took it. He had allegedly hit the reporter over the head with a pistol.
link isnt worth going to, just that quote lol

Do you suppose that restaurant is named after Tokyo University?

Quite possibly.

Randomness: I first learned of Todai as a shortened form of Tokyo Daigaku (University) from Love Hina ( ANN | ANFO ). Anime can be educational~
