Thanks to the Cards winning a bunch, I managed to get 2 Cardinals tickets for a total of $9. Now to figure out where these seats are.

So far, so good on the kids.woot launch. Adrenaline flowing even though I can’t do much but watch. First new .woot in 23 months I think.

It was a surprise to me to find out how closely Mr. Bean is an homage to Mr Hulot, but their ’s Holiday flicks make it quite clear.

Suddenly started hearing keyboard cat playing. I looked around to see what embarrassing mistake I’d made, but it was just a 404 on Woot.

All right, so I wish I’d stayed, but it’s not as though I’d rather they’d’ve lost once I decided to leave. 5 up and 15 over .500!

This game got the best of me. Burning hot followed by two rain days, I’m watching the rest from my temperate, dry living room.

Nice to see a Padres pitcher hanging out in the rain talking to a couple kids: twitpic.com/e5uwv

Still raining, but looks like they’re making sure the tarp is ready to remove: twitpic.com/e5ur1

Underground bar is packed again: twitpic.com/e5pqd Annoyingly, we can’t even watch the (rain-delayed) Cubs game.

15 minutes before I left for GenCon I was sitting in Busch Stadium, and 90 minutes after I’m back I’ll be sitting there again.

I may have accidentally purchased the Coraline audio book in German. It’s going to be a long ride home.

Recommendation for a 3-4 hour audio book from iTunes?

Signed my first autograph of the Con. Hilarious to think what that guy’s going to do with that.

Fun, fire alarm evacuation of all of #gencon: twitpic.com/e27qe

I wish I’d taken pics of everyone wearing Iron Maiden shirts. As Ezra noticed, they’re everywhere. Maybe more than woot shirts. #gencon

Ha, I was right, the iPhone 3GS takes pics just before you click the shutter: tr.im/wopk (I’d noticed in my baseball timed shots.)

Idea: A de-highlighter (delighter?) which de-emphasizes (grays out) some text (for those times you’d end up highlighting almost everything).

12seconds - 1/300th of a rotation around Indianapolis. tiny12.tv/C2MJA

But CRIPES what a view: twitpic.com/dseqv

I find it a touch creepy that the Indy Hyatt rotating restaurant has the same name as Hitler’s vacation resort: Eagle’s Nest.

New term: SABR-wave - designation given when the crowd appropriately waits till Win % is at >90 before starting the wave.

Who do I talk to in order to get Hardees to use the stars on their sign to count off our Ks?

I know it’s not that impressive considering who was up, but I called that HR, on that specific pitch, and I don’t try to call many.

Dear MODOT: while the primary highway is closed, how about don’t close the primary 44 exit to the game? Or at least warn & give a detour.

I’m going to hazard a guess I’m the only one in this crowd of 42,000 attending GenCon tomorrow.
