Team Sportscast Network (TSN) announced that they will be covering the Team Warfare League (TWL) 8v8 Battlefield Vietnam league. I’m glad to see TSN starting to pickup more Battlefield franchise casts, which should be interesting to hear them cover. You can read the details of the announcement and a few planned casts here.

A student at USC used his college meal plan to scarf up as many free iTunes songs as possible. Not a bad way to spend what his food plan “valued” at $2500. You can check out his site here.

Denison just released a new version of their IceLink car connector kits for Apple IPod and IPod Mini, which are available to ship on Monday. Now I need to seriously consider getting one so I can listen to my IPod during long trips direct through the stereo rather than my Griffin iTrip FM connector.

Yesterday on Easter Sunday, my wonderful Acura TSX had it’s first birthday. 21097 miles later, the car runs just as well as the day I purchased it, however the exterior has been subjected to typical Pennsylvania construction plagued highways and encountered a few paint chips along the way. Over the past year I have compiled the mileage data for fuel mileage, as well as a comparison to what the Navigation trip computer says was my average versus what I calculated from the pump and odometer data. What I found is that while the Navigation system was close, more often than not it was on the high side with regards to mileage, which averaged over the 70 tanks to being about 1mpg difference between the two calculations. Pretty good, but the difference is probably how the Navi calculates fuel mileage versus my basic miles / gallons calculation. You can see the data here.

Over on PlanetSoldner they have just posted a FAQ regarding the US Beta Demo for Soldner: Secret Wars. It answers connection issues and alternate connection problems as well as some item / inventory questions and firing modes as well. You can find the faq here.

Over on SpamBlogging there is a recent post regarding a Irish Linux User Group user who caught a Spammer inside of the Internet Cafe he works at. It’s a pretty interesting read, and includes the attempt to eat a USB thumb drive, lol. You can read the article here.
