Remember when I was talking about i-Squad?

Well, I ordered my first two items yesterday. I ordered Loon’s self titled debut album from the Bad Boy i-Squad and I ordered an autographed (by Mase) Breath, Stretch, Shake single from the Mase i-Squad. Pretty cool.

NBA Suspensions Justfied

November 23, 2004 No Comments

NBA Commissioner David Stern’s suspensions in response to recent activities were justfied. Good call by the commissioner.

Mark Cuban says it well:

Perfect

Thats all that can be said about the way Commissioner Stern handled the situation in Detroit. He punished those who crossed the line. More importantly, he sent the message to every player, that if you go into the stands and fight a fan, you will be punished beyond anything that could be expected. For those that think there is a trend in the NBA, or professional sports in general towards fan-player violence, as one idiot in the media suggested to me. You are wrong. You are safer going to a Mavs game than you are shopping in your local grocery store or gas station. There are about 2500 NBA games per year. Over the past 25k or so games, this has happened once. That is not a trend. It wont happen again. Lets get on with the season and put this behind us.

phpBBHacks.com Mentioned in Digital Computing Series: Dreamweaver and Featured on the Homepage of America’s Army

Two neat little bits.

First, I found out on Friday that we were featured in Digital Computing Series: Dreamweaver. It was labeled a magazine, but it is definitely more of a big, full color book with a CD-Rom. We are mentioned as an online resource to help users build their PHP forum (the book highlighted phpBB).

Second, at America’s Army, if you click on “AA Forums Nominated for PHPBB of the Year”, you will see our name. I know we’re a big site and we’re the one giving them an award, but its still pretty cool.
