John Smoltz is getting a standing ovation on his way in from the bullpen. (via @dgoold) 1st time for a 5th starter? Very nice feeling.

The giveaway tonight is a hard plastic water bottle explicitly not ever allowed in the ballpark, presumably for fear of alcohol smuggling.

I’ve pre-ordered software online many times, not getting it till after everyone who goes to a store. But I keep doing it. #meFail

Laptop won’t connect to our WiFi. But iPhone will. & the laptop will tether with my phone. So everything’s working. This is a weird world.

Who pays $3,865 for jeans? Now $1,298, that’s reasonable. (I’d link to the sale so you could buy away, but it’s at Gilt Groupe.)

I predict PBS changes their mind & funds Reading Rainbow. I also predict an abstract statement relating to Twitter in their announcement.

2nd time in 2 weeks found 1st gen iPhone left in the bathroom. Just left it there, it’s not a Woot one & everyone on the floor’s gone home.

Turns out, you usually need to score more than 3 to win a game. Like this one, for instance. #LETSGOCARDS

USAA bank lets you take a pic of your check & upload it via their iPhone app. I wonder if it’d work with oversized novelty checks.

You don’t win many series with 4 runs in 2 games, but I’ll take it. Hopefully going to the sweep tomorrow.

Favorite typo of the day: instead of tooltips, I typed ‘tootlips’

IKEA abandons Futura for Verdana, seemingly so their catalog matches their website. NOW can we get font licensing in place?

It is a very black and white day looking at the 4 woot thumbnails from the viewpoint of kids.woot today.

My crime-solver TV show premise: casting agency places ad in Yellow Pages, gets misheard as ‘detective agency’, gets tons of calls for help.

So…what are the odds the Cardinals only face teams with losing records in the post-season? We do well against them. vs good teams? 50/50.

I hope the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard update does not puke on our rug like our other cats do.

The Dukes of Hazzard forever ruined my ability to spell hazard correctly.

Wow, the iPhone game Civilization drained my battery to nothing even while it was in a charger.

Trying to think of a movie where a trip to Mexico doesn’t end in disaster. Ok, yes, I’m watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The cats like it.
