So am I the only one who's wished for one of these (http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/10/1w_tv-b-gone_in_a_flashlight.html) while at the Ram after our meetings?

Depends on what game is playing.

What would be funnier would be a "switch to a soap opera" button.  That would probably get more looks in a sports bar.

I used to have a Sony Clie PDA that had a universal remote control for it.  Worked really well too.  Just needed to see the TV manufacturer typically.  It would let you change channels, volume, etc.  Had a very powerful IR blaster too.  I haven't seen one that worked as good since.

I tried some software on my pda to use as a universal remote... the problem was that the IR was "detuned" that you had to be within a foot or two to do anything....  Otherwise the app was pretty cool.

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde in the office was using the following password:  MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy

 

When asked why she used such a big password, she said, "Hello, it had to be at least 8 characters long!"
