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…
I’m watching the Mariners/Yankees game right now, I just love listening to Dave Niehaus. All the Fox Sports Net channels were blacked out when they had baseball games on so I cancelled the “PLUS” part of my Dish service and got the baseball package. So far so good. Gil Meche has a great arm and…
I was out helping a friend shop for a new TV today and caught some footage of Harold Reynolds talking on ESPN. I like Harold Reynolds, I remember him as the second baseman for the Mariners when I was growing up in Seattle. That said, he was spewing some real non-sense today. (Paraphrased) On-base percentage…
The one area I knew would be solid for my fantasy baseball team was my pitching, particularly my ERA and WHIP. This is because I was keeping 5 of the top 10 (or top 12-15 depending on who you read) starting pitchers: Pedro Martinez Curt Schilling Tim Hudson Barry Zito Johan Santana Then Pedro goes…
We powered through our fantasy baseball draft tonight. I’m pretty pleased with my team, though I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been. I’d like to have one more closer and a little more speed, but I should do well in the percentage categories and my starting pitchering rotation is pretty much untouchable. I…
I took some photos at the day baseball games I went to last week in Arizona. Here are some of the better ones. The first game was at in Peoria, AZ; we were sitting in the bleachers along the third baseline. We were pretty close to the action here, I didn’t have to crop much…
We leave tonight for our annual Spring Training trip: 4 days of baseball and golf in the Arizona sun. I’m bringing my PowerBook so I can respond to support questions, set up free trials and fulfill sales of Tasks Pro™, but other e-mails may not get replied to for a few days. It somewhat depends…
Last night was the deadline for the guys in my fantasy baseball league to turn in their keeper lists. This is the 4th season of this league and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been able to win the last couple of years but the teams in 2-10 have scrambled up a bit. I had…
A-rod to the Yankees for Soriano. According to the story, Alex Rodriguez (one of the best defensive shortstops in the game) will move to third base so Derek Jeter (one of the worst defensive shortstops in the game) can remain at short. It isn’t even close when you look at the stats. Hmm, I guess…
Pitchers and catchers report for spring training today. Whoohoo! Two American League teams made moves over the off-season that could make this a very interesting year: In the AL West, the Angels spent a TON of money and signed Vladimir Guererro, Bartolo Colon, Jose Guillen and Kelvim Escobar. Assuming they can keep everyone healthy, they…
I played in my first (and probably last, due to the move) NCVA tournament today. It was a lot of fun! I’ve played in lots of grass doubles and 4′s tournaments, but I haven’t played in a 6-man tournament before. I was pleased to find that I am still pretty effective despite not playing at…
Now for the second installment in my Shoeless series: I had to go buy new volleyball shoes today. Not as much excitement around this episode. I intentially packed up all my volleyball gear and sent it on the truck. Our league finished the weekend before Thanksgiving and with the move, work and other wrap-up activities…
I decided not to send my golf clubs with the rest of our stuff in the moving van so I’d be able to get a last round or two in before we drive out to Denver in a few weeks. I hopped in the car this morning and headed to Sunken Gardens to play my…
Edgar Martinez signed a one year contract to return to the Mariners next year. This is excellent news! Edgar had been contemplating retirement to spend more time with his family, but his son urged him to keep playing.
On Sunday I had the opportunity to go to the Nelson Invitational with Adam and combine two of my hobbies: photography and golf. I’ve done a lot of shooting at baseball games over the last couple of years, but this was my first golf tournament. Adam was shooting for the Daily and I tagged along…
I thought it was over when Urbina gave up the lead in the top of the 9th. And how about that job by Braden Looper? Nice win for the Fish. This postseason has been awesome.
