I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
GameTonight now creates a module for Panic’s excellent Status Board iPad app. The URL is simple, add ‘/statusboard’ to any metro…
I’ve just released an initial beta of Threads, a WordPress plugin I’ve been working on for about a year. The idea is simple: show posts…
The Mariners made another “stupid” trade this year – dealing Shin-Soo Choo to the Indians for Ben Broussard. Choo basically spent the entire year in AAA, and had very good numbers, compiling an .893 OPS. He’s had good numbers (especially his OBP) at every stop along the way in the minors, and is only 24…
If I hadn’t already realized it during the season, the three nights of volleyball playoffs this week were definitely enough to tell me I need to get back on my workout routine. Lots of work plus travel make it easy to come up with excuses – I need to make the time like I was…
I reached a personal milestone today.
I played sand volleyball tonight for the first time since the SportsOasis closed up back in January. They re-opened about a month after they’d planned, but I’m just glad to be back playing on a regular basis again. I was huffing and puffing a bit tonight1, and wasn’t clearing the net the way I should…
Congratulations to Phil Mickelson for winning his second green jacket in convincing style this afternoon. Jim Nantz noted that Phil has won 3 of the past 9 majors, which made me curious to look back at the major winners over the last few years and see how he’s done compared to Tiger and the others…
Golf in HD is good, the Masters in HD is fantastic. I don’t know that I’ll ever be satisfied watching golf without HD again (at least on the big screen).
We’re drafting now.
My fantasy baseball draft is in about 10 minutes – follow along live if you like. UPDATE: the draft has been postponed, tune in on Thursday @ 7pm PST to watch the carnage.
I’m back from my weekend jaunt to (mostly) sunny Arizona. We skipped last year due to business, but this is the 4th time in 5 years taking this trip. I quite enjoy this vacation – a few rounds of golf and a few spring training baseball games do wonders for relaxation. A few random notes:…
Great news for volleyball players in the Denver/Boulder area, the SportsOasis is re-opening1 in Broomfield in a new location (close to the old location actually) with a target date of April 14th. I’ve been playing 1-3 times a week at the SportsOasis for the last year and a half or so, and I’m quite glad…
Wow, check out these stats on Sammy Sosa from the Hardball Times: HOMERUNS HR RCAA 1 Hank Aaron 755 1032 2 Babe Ruth 714 1795 3 Barry Bonds 708 1502 4 Willie Mays 660 1008 5 Sammy Sosa 588 338 6 Frank Robinson 586 852 7 Mark McGwire 583 665 8 Harmon Killebrew 573 516…
I managed to get out for 9 holes this afternoon… it felt great to get away from the keyboard for a few hours. I’m not sure when it will be, but I’m looking forward to getting back to not working for the entire weekend.
I’ll be rooting for my hometown Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. I’ve never been a huge ‘hawks fan, but in the finest Seattle sports tradition, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon now that they are doing well. There was potential for a conflict if both the Broncos and Seahawks had made it to the Super Bowl. I’d…
The way NBA players are shooting “free throws” these days, they might need to change the term. Perhaps: “challenge shot”?
Granted there was a bunch of snow this week, but the snow at Breckenridge today was a lot better than what we had at Keystone last week. I escaped with many fewer bumps and bruises. I’ve got to remember to get my board waxed before my next trip – I keep getting stuck while traversing…
