Tim Scherer is looking to get the funding for a geeky bar.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/951947596/the-8-bit-bar-st-louiss-geek-bar

Full details on the project page, but some of the things they're looking to do:

Create Your Own Dining Experience by Bringing in Food From Wherever You Want
15-20 Classic Arcade Games - Think Ms. Pacman, Galaga and Donkey Kong with a consistent high-score leader board in the bar and online
Free Wi-Fi
Weekly Presentations from Local Scientists, Researchers, and Professors
A Free Library of Books For You to Enjoy
A Selection of Awesome Board Games - Think Chess, Settlers of Catan, Risk, Puerto Rico, Battlestar Galactica, Munchkin, and Game of Thrones

I can say that a few drinks with friends over Settlers of Catan or Munchkin is quite fun, from personal experience.

My AIM broke mysteriously. Whenever I load it in-browser, the browser goes blank (tried both Chrome and Firefox). I downloaded the actual application, but it never connects, just says "connecting" for five minutes. Restarting my computer didn't help, to my knowledge my Flash is updated, AIM's help files are a jumbled mess.

Any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me for a while, at about the same time. Eventually it fixed itself.

Good to know it wasn't just me.

They just upgraded AIM last month to a completely new system. I wouldn't be surprised if they are updating AIM express as well.

Don't download the new AIM :(. It's terrible.

>>Don't download the new AIM :(. It's terrible.

No joke. Can't even deleter buddies. Unfortunately, I always used the in-browser one, so I had no choice to change.

Can go way way way back to the non-bloatware versions if you like.

I don't know what that is yet, but the name of it sounds beautiful.

For those on macs who want to avoid AOL-created software for various reasons, there's also Adium (http://adium.im/).

I'll let it slide this time.

Thank you for the link Teveshszat.

Saving my eyes from seeing AOL's startup page at least once a day will be amazingly good, but could you give me examples of why I would want to avoid AOL software?

Cheers
