I took some time and found a great use of the http://fenrir.us site I have not been using a whole heck of a lot.  I found a great solution, reBlog!

reBlog lets me see all my favorite sites and news stories, then post the really interesting ones for everyone to see.  Wander over to http://fenrir.us to find out a bit of what I am reading.

For more random entertainment, http://fluffy.fenrir.us

Gorillaz is a neat virtual band wish some rather weird videos. I love their stuff. Evidently, they are now doing live performances. The technology used is something akin to the Pepper’s Ghost parlor trick.  You can find a video of their live performance from the MTV Europe music awards and also the Grammy awards at this site.

Gorillaz take to the stage to play “Feel Good Inc” live.

The world’s more popular virtual band had just won Best Group at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon on November 3rd, 2005.

I joined up with NCAA pool to do two things. First, to help an old camp buddy of mine, Mike Riopel, raise some money to participate in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training marathon. Second, I want to compare my college basketball prediction skills vs. that of a 1983 minted US quarter. Look for updates on who is the victor!

If you want to join the pool, go for it! It’s a $20 entry fee with $10 going to the fund and then $10 going to the bracket pot. Winner of the brackets gets the pot.

First, go here to sign up:

The password is marathon.

Then, wander here to donate $20. Even if you don’t join up, donate to help Mike out!
