Since I couldn’t convince anyone to come down here for the Preakness, I’m going to make a trip up to Hanover the following week.

Actually, Kirsten and I are both coming up to go to the Pompy tent sale to see if we can save some money on a table for our kitchen, but we’re making a mini-vacation out of it.

So, Memorial Day weekend… anyone want to go out to dinner or ?

  

Juiced Baseball, cont.

Building on Tim’s comments on Bonds, here’s an interesting read from espenthemagazine, looking at the Mets’ clubhouse drug scene. Completely unsurprising in a way, but still disappointing as a fan of the game.

No one spoke openly about shooting up, but it wasn’t hard to guess who was on the juice. And no one was pointing fingers. Instead, the same question was often asked on planes, in bars, in card games: Would you take something that gets you a $20 million deal but eventually kills you? The usual answer: Sure, if I could help my family.

  

Stupid resume tricks

Well, my job search may not be going awesomely, but suddenly I do feel a little better.  Or maybe more depressed actually, since apparently the competition isn’t that fierce.

  

Sorry about the downtime

I had to upgrade the database behind the blog from mySQL 4.0 to 5.0. It wasn’t a minor thing.

Let me know if you notice anything funny.

Of course, the reason why I did that upgrade is that I also have to upgrade the blog itself. Expect more downtime.

Unabashedly catering to the 21-35 male audience, Howard Stern now has his own channel. And this week only, you get a free preview. I have been unable to register using Firefox, so others may want to try OmniWeb/Safari/Opera/IE/etc… anyway, enjoy?

Ebay Sucks

I was just bidding on a wide-angle lens for my big camera and someone outbid me in the last 5 seconds.

Such a pain in the ass. On the other hand, it looks like there’s another similar lens up now, so I’ll just try bidding on that one instead.
