World Pinball Rankings
Thu Feb 2 07:49:51 EST 2006
Josh Sharpe has been busy putting together a list of pinball players ranked by their performance in tournaments of recent years. He posted the initial list to r.g.p. recently.

With nothing better to do tonight, I decided to add RSS capability to my website. You can now subscribe to these messages at http://www.oddchange.com/rss.xml. Firefox users should see an orange icon in the lower right.
It took less than an hour to add it, and it seems to be working OK. Let me know if you find it broken on your end.

OK, so for those curious to know how I did in the TPIR guessing game mentioned a few days ago…
The three current games that I couldn’t think of were Freeze Frame, Cover Up, and Line ‘Em Up. Cover Up is particularly embarrassing, as they play it all the time and we had some discussion about strategy on that one at the Puzzle Palace not long ago.

It was also interesting seeing how I organized all of the information — which games led me to thinking of other games.

I finally uploaded all of the other Sundance photos I took. View them here. There’s a permanent link in the lower left corner of the main page, too.
Also, I grabbed all of Al’s pics from Snapfish and put them here.
We’re slowly coming back down to reality after last weekend’s rush. Ya know, like having to pay for our own drinks and not having free stuff given to us left and right. Real life sucks.
