About Last Night
I was bored sitting around the home-office during an application release for work, so I did some other stuff after writing the My Friend Flickr post. Now you have this little Aside to enlighten you some more.
I updated my About page to add my “plane struck by lightning” experience (surprised I forgot to add it originally since I seem to be a lightning rod) and another paragraph about school fun facts.
I also added a new Colophon page. Enjoy! (I sure did)
My Friend Flickr
First off, everyone celebrate! This is my 100th Post or Page in the OB1og. That’s probably 50 more than I thought I’d get to at this point, but I guess a good chunk — 44 at current count — are just Asides, so maybe I am half-fluff.
Okay, the real point of this post is to point out to you that I have been making some adjustments to my Flickr photostream over the last month or so. Ever since I have upgraded to a Pro account, I have been playing with more features. I recently, as in today, decided to mark some photos as viewable by Friends, Family or Friends & Family only.
What does that mean to you? Well, if you aren’t one of... Continue reading »
Snap Grackle Pop
You know, I was pretty sure that fruitcake Dr. Charles was responsible for the music at Fenway, but this article on boston.com confirmed it for me. I did comment to Joe that they should have played “The Bird is the Word,” but I didn’t know The Rivingtons by name.
Gordon Edes couldn’t find out what happened to the little guy. I’m sure he’s trying to be funny with his David Wells comment, but I am not amused. However, Jeff Horrigan over at the Boston Herald came thru with news on his f... Continue reading »
Firefox Day
Am I late to this party or what? Feh, for fun I *enlightened* my alter-ego Ryan Coulton. I didn’t want to spam anyone real, but I do recommend you download Firefox and give it a shot anyway. Heck, spam someone if you want your name in lights.
It is more secure than IE6 and renders my blog (and others) better too. Can’t wait to see how Firefox 2 and IE7 will match up as IE7 looks to be a huge improvement over IE6. I have been running IE7 beta 3 for a while and it is pretty good.
Black Bird Steals Second
This just in: Jason Johnson still sucks.
So I attended tonight’s Sox game vs. the Tribe and the Sox dropped it 6-3 in the very sweltering heat. They couldn’t do much of anything against CC Sabathia who was throwing 98 mph heat himself and only gave up a Mark Lorretta homer off the Fisk foul pole in left. Not until the ninth did the Sox tack on two more runs with an Alex Gonzalez bomb into the Monstah Seats… or, maybe it was over them, but at that point it didn’t much matter unless we could make it to Papi, which they didn’t.
You may remember I posted about David Ortiz here and here back in June. Well, Big Papi has done it again with two walk-off hits, including a 3-run bomb last night, in his past three games prior to tonight. You think Indians manager Eric Wedge second guessed his decision to pitch to Ortiz? I’m... Continue reading »
