Pedro's Little Friend

2004-10-29T8:02 Absolutely disgusting.  After an incredible 7 game series and a 105 regular season wins the best the Cards can do is rollover and get swept in 4?  After the drama of the NLCS and ALCS the Series was a big bust for me.  It was so anticlimactic.

 
Any pro team with a mascot
automatically sucks

Now that The Curse has been broken all we got left is the Cubs who are nearing the 100th anniversary of their last Series win in 1908.  The difference is that the Cubs are at least lovable.  At least the little man got a ring.  Oh, and I guess Ben Affleck must be on Cloud Nine.  Damn.  But seriously, if you're a Sox fan you gotta realize that no one cares about Sox Nation anymore; you've traded in a crucial element of your identity for the ring.  But to show I'm a good sport, I'll tip my cap to the 2004 Red Sox.  Oh, and...

2004-10-22T2:27  Last night Tao came down and we played 1000 Blank White Cards.


2004-10-22T12:02  Time for a link jamboree!  Insanely frustrating Virtual Frig Magnets. This one's for my dad.  He loved this guy.  The Newseum is posting daily scans of Front Pages from around the world.  Dungeon Majesty:  A D&D Webcast.  An oldie but a goodie:  Found Magazine.  Gigantor trailer. Wicked Jack 'O Lantern stencils.  An idea I've had for awhile now has become reality:  copy data USB thumbdrive to USB thumbdrive without a computer. Interesting commentary on Roe v Wade and how it pertains to the Laci Peterson case.  I know I should really let this die but here's a side by side comparison showing the changes made to Star Wars:  A New Hope.  Empire Strikes Back.  Return of the Jedi yet to come.  Be sure to check out the awful re-records of Boba Fett's lines.

2004-10-18T14:36  Christmas is coming up! How Lego bricks are made. Virtual Electron Microscope. Survive a nuclear attack in comfort.  BTW, have you guys seen the hilarious new Nintendo commercials? Here's an artist who is building herds of mechanical animals that roam the beaches of Holland.  All about the Golden Record that was attached to Voyager.  BBS: The Documentary.  But it seems a bit long at over 7 hours. Fool your friends with the Chatting Aimbot!  Chick CS players?  This makes me more uncomfortable than Chess Girl or whatever the Hell we called her.  Bobby Fischer:  still crazy.  The Vintage Computer Festival.  Why is Hamilton stuck with the Festival of Friends instead?  The Internet Anagram Server.  Handy!  My name anagrams into Crank Our Fizz!  Oh yeah!


2004-10-12T14:45  Links!  Doesn't look too interesting until you realize that these women are CGI.  Why do people insist that whiteboards are better? Star Wars in Asciimation.  CDC's Disease Collectable Disease Trading CardsEarly T-Rex had feathers to keep it warm.  Titanic Slide for your next birthday party.   Next weekend is Worldwide D&D Day Search for people's digital photos on the web with Google.



Jeter being the hero vs. Boston

2004-10-12T14:20  Are you ready for some baseball?  I know I am.  The BoSox may be the better team on paper--I'll grant you that--but this ain't fantasy baseball.  This isn't pen and paper this is the real thing and in the Bronx the Sox have no chance against the Mighty Yankees.  What good is Boston's pitching lineup when they're up against Godzilla, A-Rod, Williams, and Sheffield?  Pedro is already psyched out.  My prediction:  Yankees in 7 in a mirror of last year's result.  Hey Boston, who's your daddy?


2004-10-12T14:01  A couple of new galleries are up:  Starsmars' Mini NYC album and a couple Ruby pics.


2004-10-12T11:59  Archived a whole bunch of my blog in case you're wondering where it all went.


2004-10-09T22:48  Check it out!  Look who finally busted out of the asylum:  Bombz-Away!


2004-10-03T10:10  More crap to see and enjoy.  Meet-An-Inmate.  100M sprint will be run in 8.079 seconds in 2156.  I'm sure everyone knows by now, but Sid Meier's Pirates! is going to be remade.  One of my all time faves on my old 486.  What do you get when you forget to blow on your NES carts?  You get Glitch Art.  How to pick up and carry your G5 from docs.info.apple.   Steal people's clipboards when they visit your site.  Protect yourself.  Here's a great site where you can d/l a DLL when you get an error telling you that it's missing.  Finally, if you have some spare cycles and would like to join SETI@Home why not join my work team ChessNet?  I had trouble d/l the client so I posted it here


2004-10-01T8:31  October!  One of my favorite months.  Fall is here, it's getting cooler, the leaves are turning colors and all that junk.  And let's not forget Halloween and Mr. Bleach White Skeleton.  If you remember Bleach was on his way to Germany last we heard from him.  Today he sends us news from the Old Country.
