Must. Type. Faster.

Like Typing of the Dead, but online multiplayer. And very addictive. Play TypeRacer now. Me and my 96 WPM will be seeing you around.

Father of Chaos Theory Passes Away

R.I.P. Professor Lorenz.

Now this:

Cub fans aren’t that bad…are they?

Then again…throwing back baseballs just to do it really pisses off Reds announcer Marty Brennaman (who is a beast).

I can’t believe I share the same hometown as some of these fools.

Thoughts for Thursday

Almost time for midterms. Then again, I could be taking 4 classes…

• BMW’s hydrogen car is clean actually cleans (the air)!
• Microsoft finally gets the idea that Vista sucks, XP SP3 update soon to be released.
• So I don’t need to pay $300 to have my HDTV calibrated?
• Miguel Tejada loses two years of his life.
• NBA Playoff seeds are set. Flop City to come out with analysis soon…

Anybody familiar with MATLAB? A poorly conducted 50 minute tutorial was definitely not enough to make me understand its workings.

How Many Rays are in a Yank?

According to Forbes, that number would be a little more than 5. That’s right, it would take a little over 5 Tampa franchises to equal how much the Yankees are worth (256 mil to 1.3 bil). Ridiculous? Definitely. The White Sox are in the middle of that list, worth about 443 million. Despite the bad season last year, the Sox still played to 82% capacity at The Cell and the franchise’s value grew 16% from last year. Not too bad, I’d say.

Read more about the report at Flop City, or get the numbers straight from the source.

The Rebirth of Sox

• Gavin Floyd, huh?
• Danks is good. Then he’s not. But no…he is!
• Pierzynski plays the DS, and apparently it helps him hit a baseball.
• Crede enjoys Denny’s, has not one, but two grand slams.
• Having a leadoff man who can get on base is important.

Go Sox!

Who Likes Sports?

My good friend Justin has recently started a sports-themed blog named Flop City. If you’re interested in hearing what he has to say (and he is VERY informed), head over to see what it’s all about. I think he only has one post right now, but he’s working on several more and you might even see a familiar author (hint) do a couple of posts every now and then.

Flop City, not a poker blog.

Tuesdays and Thursdays

…are for Listhost Basketball League. That is all.
