Skier Skis Nude After Losing Bet
WENGEN, SWITZERLAND — Rainer Schoenfelder lost a bet Wednesday, and paid for it by skiing nude down the Lauberhorn.The 29-year-old Austrian skier, who hurt his neck and back in a crash last week, lost a bet with his physiotherapist, who had been treating his injuries. Schoenfelder had vowed to ski naked if his pains had lessened by Wednesday morning.Schoenfelder skied wearing only yellow boots and an orange helmet and gloves, and a photographer snapped a shot of the skier that has been circulated on the Internet."Somehow I didn't notice the photographer," Schoenfelder said. "It was an internal bet and of course the whole thing wasn't planned for the public."I am happy, though, that the pains have eased up and that it was not cold when I honored my debt."

I'm installing and messing around with the new Jokosher audio recording software and it's kinda taking up my time today.

Seems a bit unrealistic to me.

Hollywood OKs Downloads to DVD
The major studios have approved new security technology for downloaded movies that are burned to DVD. Sonic Solutions Inc. has introduced their Qflix system, which adds a digital lock to the DVDs. This copy-protection lock isn't much different from the locks used on store-bought DVDs, though because it is for burned discs, it will require customers to buy a new kind of blank DVD and a new kind of DVD burner.

Superman Projection AM/FM Clock Radio
wake up refreshed to the Superman theme song. The inspirational John Williams score plays loudly on my new AM/FM clock radio and if I feel I need more rest before I head out into Metropolis I can just smack the giant "S" symbol that doubles as the snooze button. Of course, it also comes with a traditional alarm sound if epic theme music isn't your cup of tea in the morning. The Superman alarm clock can also project the time and Superman symbol onto the wall or ceiling
