One Last Thing on NBA Officiating:

After watching the Clippers and Suns try to out-fail each other at the end of the game last night, I was struck by how much worse the officiating was in that game than in the much-maligned game 4 of Mavs-Spurs. The Spurs should consider themselves very blessed that Steve Javie and Co. didn't do their game -- it was a crapshoot. I could have sworn they were just making random foul calls by the end of the game.

Suns: Didn't I tell you? Never trust Tim Thomas. Congratulations anyway, and thank you for making Penny and Garry Marshall sad.

What am I going to write about next? Not basketball or Linux, I can tell you that. Ok, one other last thing: So I managed to rip a DVD to a SVCD MPEG on my hard drive, making the world a better place. That is all.
