"The low-carb thing is essentially a way of forcing control over the metabolism much like coders, geeks and hackers tweak their code and config files to make their machines run smoother."That's got to be one of the geekiest things that I've read in a while.

Well I'm watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on Speed TV and text messaging my guess prices...I've actually done pretty well.
My sims got messed up when a glitch kept the mom's pregnancy from progressing normally. I had to move them into a new house before she could give birth. That was a bummer, too, because she has a family aspiration.
I'm thinking about giving my sims their own online diary.
There's a patch at the Sims site - do you have it? Maybe it'll fix the glitch. My Sim (Judge Micah) is on his last legs. His wife's not bad, but the son's a dork. I'll spare his life, though. Gotta love this God Complex.
Hot dang! Some guy just bid $3,000,000 for a 1954 Oldsmobile prototype. Too bad it wasn't for a blue 91 Delta 88 Royale.
There she is...Mrs. Loser of the Year. Thanks for the update.
So, am I the only one who thinks the title of this post is funny? Shamrock would get it.
M-as for the title, does it have anything to do with Shamrock's "nickname" in college?
spydrz - I'm drawing a blank as to the nickname.
Kate - Yeah, because MacGyver isn't dorky. :)
KPMD - You got it! It reminds me of when Shamrock stayed at my house one summer. I come home from work and the house is completely dark, save for the TV. Shamrock was taking advantage of the free Showtime preview, despite the fact that he was watching crappy movies like "Hackers" and "Biodome."
