Why Dirk is such an awesome athlete to cheer for.

Brad Townsend interviews Dirk Nowitzki in this article and reveals several surprising things, including the fact that his father was undergoing surgery during game 6.

The guy’s humble, hardworking, and good at ping pong. :D

Sound quality going down the drain

With satellite radio and HD radio. It’s the biggest reason why I decided not to continue with XM Radio. Apart from the poor channel selection, the sound quality just sucked. Sounded like a 64kb/s mp3. And it’s appalling to find out that HD radio isn’t much better. Currently it only allows for up to 150kb/s bandwidth. Talk about quantity over quality. This sucks. America, this is all your fault.

Registration Stickers

Did they decide to change them to an opaque blue so that it’s now impossible to check your expiration date from inside the car? That’s pretty sneaky.

The new design features a blue adhesive border, eliminating fingerprint marks that many customers found unsatisfactory with the translucent border. The blue back is imprinted with a friendly reminder to “Check the date, love your state” to help Texans keep their registration current. For the first time, the sticker features a Web address, www.texasinyourcorner.com, which offers more information about vehicle registration.

Rights and W[r]ongs

Looks like this local Dallas girl got her picture taken and released by the photographer (her youth pastor, Mr. Wong). Virgin Mobile in Australia picked it up and used it since Mr. Wong allowed commercial use with attribution, thanks to the Creative Commons license he chose. Fast forward to her seeing her photo on Flickr and now suing Virgin Mobile for defamation since they never got a model/parental release. Someone didn’t do their job correctly at VM :roll: . Funny ad though.

What a very small world we live in. John, I think your sis might knows her.
