Sports Heaven

It’s an exciting week for we rare few, who cheer on the Mets and the Giants.  First, the Mets landed about the only trade that has mattered this off-season, getting Johan Santana, a real, honest-to-Ged #1 starter, for four minor leaguers.  Thank you, Omar.  (The deal isn’t done yet; the Mets have until 5:00 Friday [...]

Sweet!

Guess what came today, and works great?

Too Good To Be True?

I am completely, 100% happy with my MacBook Pro, and have been since Day 1.  I haven’t been able to say the same thing about my 20″ iMac.  It’s been mostly great, but I have had minor problems.  The iMac tends to freeze up for a few seconds, even a few minutes, in situations where [...]

Ben’s son Seth was already at his pre-school, and Ben’s wife Lauri had gone to Moravian College, where Ben and Lauri both work, to do [...]

Fusion Collective at Artana’s

Charlie and the boys played last night at Artana’s Rock Saloon in Wantagh. I decided to bring my camera down, to see what kind of things I could learn about it. Little did I know what kind of learning experience I was in for, as the band was bathed in near total darkness. Aha! A [...]

Happy New Year!

Hey, it’s 2008! Gone is the year of the Mets’ famous collapse, of the Mitchell Report, and of the Giants’ latest first-round playoff exit. Here’s hoping that this is the year of the Mets and Giants ruling their respective leagues. I have a few things to say about Eli, but they’ll have to wait for [...]
