Went to the Yard last night. Saw the O’s win one for the first time in a long while. Perhaps my streak of losses is over.
On one pitch a Texas player swung, lost his grip on the bat, and then lost his bat to a fan who caught it. We cheered. Hopefully, the dude’s okay and not hurt from some wooden projectile hurtling his way. At least he got a souvenir. I wonder if the bat is maple or ash?

The MacMini is really great. I’m thinking about switching over to all intel machines. It’ll make developing software easier. I don’t think I’ll be doing that in the near term, but having an intel desktop would be nice.
Here’s the Big Picture’s take on the 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I missed the opening part with the drumming, the dancing and the children singing. I watched the parade of countries and that silly space walk for the Olympic flame. I just wanted to see the fireworks. For the country that invented them, it looked spectacular.
Suck it, NBC. Can’t you fucking support PPC? I want my Men’s Road Cycling now!
Update 1:
So I switch to the MacBook Pro. I need some Microsoft shit?! WTF?!? Can’t they use sucky flash? At least it’s built right into my browser!
Update 2:
Now I have to switch from Camino to Safari!!! WTF?! Camino is a Firefox variant?! Can’t they do anything right? (NBC and MS)
Update 3:
And that shit is beta?! WTF?!?!
I’m just gonna go to sleep, and read about it in the morning. Or see it on youtube.

So it’s a toy. So what? I like ’em. I collect figures. My older brother is building up a comic book/star wars figure collection. Me? I like the anime stuff. Lately, I’ve been interested in the small cute ones called nendoroids. They’re made by Good Smile Company. Today’s link will show you the list of them. It’s never too early to start a Christmas wish list.
Here’s an interesting article from the Washington Post highlighting the new bicyling paradigm in the Capitol. It seems that more and more people are not riding their bicycles for sport or for exercise, but as a tansportation. It’s getting to be downright Copenhagenized.
People just get on their bikes and ride to the store. To the cinema. To the restaurant to meet some friends. To school. To work. To places cars had taken us.
The price of gas going up has made sensible people get out of the car and onto a bike. You don’t really need to drive to the corner store. Put your groceries in your bike’s basket. You don’t need to drive to work. Cruise in style on two wheels. Pretty soon we may find out this is good for us and the planet.
Now, to find the quickest route to work.
This is telling from my work computer. I hope the sniffing dogs to catch me playing outside the corporate sandbox.
