• Yankees vs. Red Sox

    01 May 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    I can’t wait to get home tonight to catch the first meeting of the Yankees and Red Sox! Since Wakefield is pitching for Boston, I have a good deal of confidence that the Yanks will win. As it is, they have taken a slight lead for 1st place in the division. Overall, I’ve been very…

  • Snakes on a Plane

    01 May 2006 » 1 min read

    There is a summer horror flick coming out called Snakes on a Plane and that has got to rank as one of the worst titles for a movie ever. Mind you, I am saying nothing about the film, which I have not seen (and likely never will). It might be the greatest film ever made…

  • Bicentennial Man

    01 May 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    One of perhaps a handful of stories that brings tears to my eyes when I read it is Isaac Asimov’s “The Bicentennial Man”. I have read it at least three times by actual count (most recently this evening) and it is one of the more remarkable, moving stories I have ever read. I wish I…

    Okay, for those of you who know me, you’ll understand. I came across this website via Digg.com this morning, and it’s right up my alley. http://www.archimedes-lab.org/numbers/Num1_69.html

  • Trip to the Yard 2006

    30 Apr 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    Each year I have had my season tickets to the Orioles, I have made a CD for the trip to and from the Yard. Of course, this year, wthout a radio in my car, I can’t listen to the CD on the way, but I nonetheless felt it was important to keep up the ritual…

  • Warning!

    29 Apr 2006 » 1 min read

    In the 18 years 1 month and 1 day that I have been driving a car, I have not received so much as parking ticket. Until yesterday. Yesterday evening, while racing to the airport (after being stuck in traffic) to meet my Dad’s flight, I got picked up on laser doing 50 in a 35…

  • Airport Extreme

    29 Apr 2006 » 1 min read

    I finally got around to purchasing an Airport Extreme base station today to replace my old wireless. My primary motivation was twofold. First, since I have all Macs at home now, I wanted the Apple base station. Second, I lost the CD’s to my old wireless router and had no way of enabling encryption. Now…

  • DirecTV followup

    28 Apr 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    Two days ago, I grumbled about the MLB Extra Innings broadcast of the Yankee game going out at exactly 11 PM in the middle of the bottom of the 10th inning. I was fuming and emailed DirecTV. Today I got a response, and it was friendly and specific enough that it satisfies me.

  • Stuck in a loop

    28 Apr 2006 » 1 min read about Music & Arts

    I have been listening to the William Tell Overture all morning and each time the tune ends, I simply start it over again from the beginning. For some reason, the beginning makes me laugh. It’s becoming some kind of strange obession and I can’t seem to stop. Help!
