Getting ready for the Sox 08 run

jamie — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:05:36 +0000

pitchers and catchers report soon and it cannot come soon enough. Will watch my Pats go 19-0, wait for the Santana trade to go down and mourn the loss of Tina C. I wonder if Katherine Tappen will take her spot?

go sox, go pats. Should be a great 2008 for New England.

The Life Ring

Our two labs go nuts for these things. It takes about 20 minutes to wear them out in the snow with these toys. We ended up getting two of them just so they wouldn’t have to share.

Yahoo bests Google in web search fulfillment

jamie — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 14:22:44 +0000

So says Compete.com anyway. I wonder if it is because Yahoo! is an older, more established brand, with a lot more to offer as far as entertainment value, which all drives to search. Read about it here.

FetchDog coming soon

jamie — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 13:20:34 +0000

Glenn Close was on Leno last night talking about a new website and catalog company that her husband started called FetchDog. She is even hosting a blog on FetchDog where she will ask her friend’s dogs questions! Fetchdog.com will have community, blogs, forums, resource libraries and information about dog adoption. You can sign up to get a catalog or leave your email address to be alerted when the site goes live later this summer.

Orgoo looks good, but when will I get in?

This looks great. But when will I ever get in? Usually a beta signup takes 12 months. ugh.

When is it ok to be late to the party?

When exactly is it ok to be late to the party?

Skipping and shunning MySpace seems like a good idea; I am not even sure why the party got started there in the first place.

I just got back into Facebook (well, I’ve been on it for awhile, but really just to check it out initially), now that I’m here it is pretty cool. They’ve really added a ton of features within the last year that make it a nice place to hang out. The interface is simple, intuitive, and other than my wife asking “how is this any different than email” (to which I didn’t have a great answer), the system is pretty powerful.

Facebook is more powerful than LinkedIn; it touts better features, and is just plain more fun. You don’t have the spam of recruiters ruining the place, in fact, other than some stupid sponsored stuff ending up in your news feed, the place is spam-free– and I don’t even feel uncomfortable being in there and posting stuff about my personal life for all to see.

So I am late to the Facebook party, sue me. One of my Facebook friends even asked me what I was doing on it, stating “aren’t you too old for this?”

Well, I don’t think so, and anyway how would they grow if no one was late to the party. All of these social sites need people to continue to join, whether you are first or the last, it doesn’t matter. Someone needs to help keep these inflated valuations going.

Sox dominate

jamie — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 21:14:59 +0000

The Red Sox just finished up another dominating performance over the now seriously struggling New York Yankees. Paps slammed the door in the 9th to stay perfect for yet another April.

And Manny is hitting right around .200…. scary.

Let’s give it up for Matt, who has just entered the blog-world (few years late, but hey). Check him out at Tuesday Night BBQ (http://www.tnbbq.blogspot.com).

Sports Media 2.0

jamie — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 20:45:14 +0000

The Sox opened the season at home today and put a hurting on the Mariners. In defense of the Mariners, they’ve been snowed out for a week. They were overmatched (and will be all year), Beckett even struck out the mighty Ichiro thrice.

For those that follow the Sox religiously, you may have come across Curt Schilling’s new blog (www.38pitches.com). In it, he does a great job with Q&A, insights into the game and has all but said that it is going to be his forum for getting info out, speaking his mind, etc. He is leading the way into a new era (no, not the hat company) for ways that pro athletes converse with their fan-base, all-the-while, leaving out the mass media and all of their twisting and turning of quotes to make their stories hum.

Schilling is using a simple wordpress blog, no big bells and whistles. Easy. Simple. I for one, enjoy reading it, and he’s done a good job keeping up on posts and not letting the blog get too stale. Time will tell, especially as the season drags on, if he keeps it up.

Sox 14-1 at the moment this was published (top 8th). Dice-K goes for us again tomorrow. Should be a dandy.
