    For those of you that said you wanted to donate but couldn’t because you don’t like/couldn’t use/wouldn’t use PayPal… you can now donate through the brand spankin’ new alexking.org Kagi donation page. I’m sure now that this is set up the donations will just come pouring in. 😉

  2. My First Eagle

    I made my first Eagle today! 😎 On the 274 yard par 4 second hole I chipped in from 10 yards after hitting a good 3 wood off the tee. The tee was up this morning, so the hole was probably only playing 245-255. I actually had 0 putts through 2 holes since I’d made…

  3. COBA Presentation

    I gave my presentation of photos at the COBA meeting tonight. I didn’t do a great job, but I think I got across the main gist of the application. I forgot to talk about a number of points that I meant to bring up – I guess that is what happens the first time you…

  4. Pedro vs. Hudson

    Mark and I went to the Red Sox/A’s game last night. When we were picking out this game at the beginning of the year, we looked at the the team schedules, pitching rotations, factored in injuries and the effect the All-Star break would have on rotations, etc. and decided to that last night’s game would…

  5. Pete Rose Reinstated?

    Baseball Prospectus is reporting that an agreement has been made that will lift Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball. If this is true, it is another in a series of horrible decisions by Bud Selig. I ranted a little about this when it was rumored earlier. UPDATE: Major League Baseball has refuted the story. Official…

  6. Presenting at COBA

    I’m presenting photos at the COBA meeting on Wednesday evening. This is going to be a great opportunity for me to get some ideas and feedback from some serious photo enthusiasts. Thanks to Adam for the invite. I’ve missed the recent COBA meetings since my softball team plays on Wednesday evenings, so (aside from my…

  11. Mariners Blogs

    I’ve found 2 Mariners blogs I’m reading right now: the U.S.S. Mariner The Seattle-PI Mariners Blog (found via the U.S.S. Mariner) Both seem to have good information and are throughtfully written. I’ve added them to my Links page as well. Keep up the good work guys!

  12. Around the web

    For you baseball stat-heads out there, make sure you read about Bases Advanced Percentage (BAP). This is a really interesting idea. I agree that speed is undervalued by OPS and this is an interesting way to try to incorporate it into a stat. UPDATE: NBC is broadcasting AVP beach volleyball again this summer. The men’s…

  13. The Royals are Sliding

    Things are looking up for my Royals bet w/ T-bone. The Royals have fallen a half game out of first place and are only 2.5 games ahead of the third place Twins. (AL Central Standings)

  14. Keyboarding vs. Mousing

    This article is really interesting. It claims that the perceived time savings people get from using keyboard shortcuts are just that: perceived time savings. I am definitely in the keyboard shortcut camp, so I’m not sure I’m ready to wholly buy this argument. I think that it is probably true that mousing is just as…
