James from Yndi Halda is coming to the US tonight for a short visit and American football lessons. Little does he know that all the commissioner does these days is watch English football.

Willi$ and Matt are back from Sundance. I was most interested in the fact that they saw Chasing the Ghost, a documentary about classic arcade game players, which featured someone who got a perfect score on Pac-Man. Fascinating.
