I'm over at Showdown Saloon watching OU struggle against Texas Christian. Wireless in Austin is so pervasive that a dive bar with what looks like bullet holes in the men's room has wireless Internet. I see that for this season espn.com has Ajaxamacated their scores page. This is nice since it obviates the need for a reloading script. From the user perspective, it's a bit of an adjustment since I don't known when the scores have been updated, but, on the whole, this seems to be a better way to deliver live data on the Web.

Man, Texas fans are awful, cheering when OU flubs a play. I generally root for Texas in non-OU games, especially in non-conference games, since it makes OU look better for beating Texas. Wouldn't Texas fans think the same way, or are they so single-mindedly elitist, they want the Sooners to lose in every context? OK, the burnt-orange table near my just clapped when an OU player was injured; that's just unsportsmanlike. I took a little revenge on them. When they were all bopping along to some bland R&B, so I just put Serge Gainsbourg's "Melody" on the juke box. I got a good "huh."
