			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hail_Mary_(American_football_game)#Reactions">Hail Mary (famous play)</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>On Minnesota&#8217;s next possession with 14 seconds left to play, a whiskey bottle was thrown by a spectator, striking Armen Terzian in the head at Minnesota&#8217;s own 10-yard line, creating a large forehead gash and rendering him unconscious. Terzian had to wear a bandage, <strong>later requiring 11 stitches</strong>, as he walked off the field and was replaced by substitute official Charley Musser for the final two plays.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armen_Terzian">Armen Terzian</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Minutes later an angry fan hit Terzian with a whiskey bottle in the back of the head, rendering him momentarily unconscious. <strong>He did not require stitches</strong>, but had to wear a large white bandage around his forehead for the final few seconds remaining in the game.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Which to believe, which to believe&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After being one of the most famous WordPress-run blogs for what seems like forever, <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/">Binary Bonsai</a> is making the switch to <a href="http://habariproject.org/">Habari</a>. I downloaded the <a href="http://habariproject.org/en/0-5-released">0.5 release</a> to test it out, and I was surprised with how far it&#8217;s come. I thought about switching over, but I don&#8217;t really maintain/care about this blog anymore, so I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s not worth the trouble.</p>

<p>As for Michael&#8217;s new theme, I just wish he&#8217;d bring back <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/freya-dissection/">Freya</a>, which is still one of my favorite blog designs.</p>

<p>Note: to view his old entries, just take off the <code>/archives/200X/XX/XX/</code> prefix &#8212; so it&#8217;s just <code>/slug</code>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why does Peter Ha write for <a href="http://crunchgear.com/">CrunchGear</a>? Or, a more accurately phrased: why does he <em>still</em> write for <a href="http://crunchgear.com/">CrunchGear</a>?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/">TechCrunch</a>, the massively popular blog about all things web 2.0, posted a <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/06/this-week-in-crunchgear-3/">recap about the week</a> on CrunchGear. Here&#8217;s the part which kind of perturbed me a bit:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>[&#8230;] our own Peter Ha alleged that the PS3 “stinks,” , and also that Leopard should die, causing an influx of fanboys to leave their folky brand of wisdom in the comments [&#8230;] <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/06/this-week-in-crunchgear-3/">#</a></p>
</blockquote>

<h3>Console Wars</h3>

<p>The <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/12/04/cg-holiday-2007-recommendation-xbox-360-elite-hd-dvd-player/">first article</a> was a holiday recommendation, recommending the Xbox 360. Fine. But why say this?</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>And the PS3 stinks! Well, not really, but I have an Elite so that’s why I’m recommending it.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Okay. But would you like to elaborate? I agree, to a certain point &#8212; while the PS3 can be viewed as a Blu-ray player, the game selection is poor, though improving. He even admits to this, later in the comments:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>I’m not saying the PS3 isn’t worth a recommendation, but I don’t have one so I can’t recommend it. Maybe someone else on staff will. <strong>Besides, I like to poke fun at PS3 fanboys and see how riled up I can get them.</strong> <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/12/04/cg-holiday-2007-recommendation-xbox-360-elite-hd-dvd-player/#comment-533179">#</a></p>
</blockquote>

<p>That may be fine for your own blog, but CrunchGear is a site where you&#8217;re paid to be a professional commentator on all things gadgets. Not for you to amuse yourself by posting inflammatory comments, such as this one.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Bring it on, PS3 fanboys. Bring. It. On. <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/12/04/cg-holiday-2007-recommendation-xbox-360-elite-hd-dvd-player/#comment-533182">#</a></p>
</blockquote>

<h3>Leopard: Die?</h3>

<p>The <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/11/30/rant-i-want-you-to-die-leopard/">second article</a> was a rant about Leopard and his experience. It even has &#8220;Rant:&#8221; in the title. As some of the comments pointed out, Leopard isn&#8217;t exactly going to run great on a dying hard drive.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the best part, though.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Eat it, douche. <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2007/11/30/rant-i-want-you-to-die-leopard/#comment-532142">#</a></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Okay. You are professional as hell. You asked for it &#8212; you posted a rather strong rant about it, and of course you&#8217;re going to get Mac fanboys knocking on your door. Don&#8217;t need to start calling names.</p>

<h3>Mr. Arrington</h3>

<p>Fire Peter Ha. Or make him professional. I don&#8217;t give a shit. But either way, he is a liability to CrunchGear&#8217;s reputation. He could always use a personal blog for these unprofessional moments, you know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As stumbled upon <a href="http://blog.akismet.com/2007/11/28/letting-spam-in-for-a-day/">through the Akismet blog</a>, Jesper Rønn-Jensen is <a href="http://justaddwater.dk/2007/11/27/announcement-spam-filter-free-day/">planning to completely disable his spam filters</a> on December 15. While that may sound a bit crazy, it&#8217;s an interesting experiment to see <em>just</em> how much time tools such as <a href="http://akismet.com/">Akismet</a> saves you every day.</p>

<p>So, on December 15, which is thankfully a Saturday, I&#8217;ll be turning off all spam filters on my blog, namely <a href="http://akismet.com/">Akismet</a> and <a href="http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/">Bad Behavior</a>. As the article also suggests, I&#8217;ll also be disabling <a href="http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/dofollow/">DoFollow</a> so Google won&#8217;t get confused. I guess I&#8217;ll prepare by adding my spam queue to my bookmarks bar.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
