    What's your best karaoke number?

    I've never done karaoke, but I used to take golf trips with some work buddies. One guy always brought along a bull horn and after a few adult beverages (and usually some drunken encouragement by friends) I would begin my lounge act. Danke Schoen and Its Not Unusual were my personal faves.

    mp3 vs. WMA

    I have a Dell Axim that I want to play music on when I travel. I also purchased a 512MB CF card to store music on. I definately prefer the sound of mp3's encoded at 160 instead of 128 but the file size difference is enough to make me chose 128. I read that WMA encoded at 128 sound better than...

    Any word on DirecTV and ESPN-HD?

    I've searched both sites and have not been able to find out if DirecTV has any plans on carrying ESPN-HD. Does anyone know if they have completely ruled it out? This would be a MAJOR mistake IMO.

    World's Most Unhealthiest Breakfast?

    My GOD... it only provides 2% of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin C! ;) Yes, even I, a proud, card carrying carnivore, find that pic a bit repulsive.

    Could someone offer some PDA purchase advice?

    I just received my Dell Axim X5 late last week. So far, with very limited experience, I love it. I have a 512MB CF card that I'm loading with mp3 music for a biz trip this week. The top of the line X5 with a 400mhz processor, 64MB SDRAM and 48MB Intel StrataFlash is only $299 after rebate. It...

    ***Official Survivor: Amazon Discussion Thread***

    Is it just me or is Shwana checking out Heidi with a "Hmmm, I like what I see" look on her face??? Wait for the clip to load and then watch Shawna's expression as she checks out Heidi. BTW, thanks for the links Patrick!

    Any Dell Axim users out there? Other PDA fans?

    Dave - I'm looking at this case by Sena Cases. It is available for $29 for the next few days. Also, someone mentioned a case with a magnetic closure. Just be careful of storing credit cards near anything with a magnet!

    Has HTF abandoned the REAL NAMES only rule?

    I guess this would not be the best time to create my new HTF ID: "E. Normous Johnson"... ;)

    SETI@home Part 3 (Take 2)

    Just a quick update. Although we continue to slowly fall through the Top 200 last week we recorded our 300,000 work unit. This week we should pass Total CPU time of 400 years. Not too shabby for a group with only 60 active members! Oh yeah, last week I finally made it back into the Top 10...

    Any Dell Axim users out there? Other PDA fans?

    I just ordered a Dell Axim X5 to replace my aging Palm Vx. I decided on the 400mhz version. Should be here before the end of the month. I'll be using it for work (documents, spreadsheets) and pleasure (mp3, games). Any "must have" software recommendations?

    Are you one of the 35 members of the 97 club?

    I'm a late '97 or early '98 member. It was the HTF that helped me make the decision on purchasing the Toshiba 3107. I was ready to jump on the first gen Toshiba but was told to wait for the 3107 to be released. I was also the member responsible for breaking the news about Elvis announcing the...
