Add this book to my Christmas wish list: The 50 Greatest Plays in Georgia Bulldogs Football History by Patrick Garbin.

Georgia Tech Football in Star Wars Terms

The Internet and the Capture of Radovan Karadzic

Former Serbian Republic President Radovan Karadžić was recently arrested, having fled war crimes charges for over a decade.  TechCrunchIT speculates on the role of the internet in his capture.
