If you're hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs "so are you nakie" to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor...

Lucky McKee’s cult began to grow like wildfire the day his first feature May was released on DVD. Since the release of that film, he has directed The Woods; been crowned a "Master of Horror" by Showtime; and produced and starred in Roman, a companion piece to May. Tonight, Lucky will be in town at Fantastic Fest for the world premiere of Roman and the U.S. premiere of The Woods. He was kind enough to answer a few questions about his work, as well as possibly revealing the title of the second top-secret AICN screening.

This is the time of year for which number crunchers live. They compare the national champions to previous years' champs. They take a step back. They try and get a sense of historical context for what transpired over the previous five months. Well, the good folks over at College Football News have come out with a ranking of the Greatest College Football Seasons of all time. The formula takes into consideration the following components:...

But the price of stamps is about to go up, kiddos. Beginning January 8th, a 1 ounce first-class stamp (man, that's a classy piece of paper) will cost you 39 cents. FYI- they cost 37 now. The two ouncer will go from 60 to 63. And even our friend Mr. Postcard will go up a Lincoln to 24 cents. Get all the new rates here.

That is about all we could say by the end of, and pretty much all throughout, last night's game. (We apologize for being delinquent in our wrtie-up, but we are pretty sure the night ended for us sometime around sunrise. With that said, expect this review to be pretty scatter-brained.) Where do we start? How does one man (and we know this was a team effort and will give props later) but, seriously, how...

We will not be attending the Rose Bowl. Not only are we not the type to fly cross country for a sporting event, we are also not the type to sell our first born in order to pay for tickets for a sporting event.

You may remember last year was a bit sticky for the Horns vis-à-vis getting an invite to the BCS. There were issues surrounding who voted for whom and, of course, the very public politicking by Coach Mack Brown. His pleadings, and probably the fact that the Horns were a better team and a better draw, got the Horns into the Rose Bowl. The funny thing about winning is it changes everything. Now, instead of Mack looking like a politico who says all the right things and is full of fake sincerity but remains a guy who can not win the big one, Mack has become a sincere, genuine, lovable, leader of a family of players who can win the big one. Ah, the fates are fickle. Regardless of how you feel about him, you have to admit he is a pretty sharp guy with a good mind for public relations.

Before we talk about the Big 12, let's look at the top ranked squad. To no one's surprise, USC crushed Hawaii 63-17. Heisman trophy winner Matt Leinart threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns. The Trojans looked good as they start their quest for their third consecutive national title.

The Longhorns had said throughout the postseason that they do not dog-pile unless they win it all. Well, all of that pent up emotion came spilling out Sunday afternoon after J. Brent Cox struck out the final batter of the College World Series, and the Horns mobbed one another in a massive pile of bodies near the pitcher’s mound.
