...worked and studied with me for the past eight, exciting months. My life seemed completely futile and empty. Had the war lasted a little longer, my remains, prepared in advance-toenails and fingernails, and bits of hair-would have been sent to my family in a small, white wooden box...
...entirely agreed with this last assessment of the move, and it was precisely why I thought the move was a good one. It amused me. The folks who?ve been driving the club the last couple of years are clearly having a ball, and are constantly thinking outside the box-whether it?s Dr. Charles?s divertissements or Theo?s trading of Nomar. They?ve kept the game fun-even, often, funny-for the fans. Here was another idea that at least made you perk up, and probably made you smile. ?The Big Guy in the pen,? you said...

A richer alternative is the Nevo SL from Universal Electronics Inc. It lists for $800. Though it's sold through custom installers, its programmability is not beyond patient, slightly geeky do-it-yourselfers. And the payoff is great: since it's 100% customizable, I was able to design...
