Due to Delmond Young’s 8th inning 3-run homer that sent the Twins game to 12 innings, where they eventually lost thanks to an A-Rod shot, the summary of posts will be delayed. Here’s MLB’s recap of the game.

I’m almost done with 15 posts in 15 days, this is number 14. I’ve got to admit that it’s been kind of fun and it’s motivated me to a few things I wouldn’t have normally done. A few things actually got done that I would have said “I should do that”.
Just some thoughts…we’ll see. I listen to podcasts quite often and I really like this one. It’s a bit crazy, but the quote that stuck with me was that this guy and his wife made a promise to each other not to go through life sleeping. EndurancePlanet.com: “Friday, August 8, 2008 Happy Anniversary Larry and Connie and Bob And Karen!!!!!
We look to you as GREAT role models!
 Gene Parmesan! – actually the moment they figured out Chester was on the way Some other pretty good couples…     I’ve been saving a few links thinking that I might post something about them. Well here they are in one post – they are all safe and a safe subject to talk about…. Photos of nerds at home dressed up like movie heros Don Majkowski Demands to be Reinstated as Packers Quarterbackvia SportsPickle.com “Former Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Don Majkowski has entered in a bitter dispute with his former organization, admitting he is “guilty of retiring too early” 12 years ago, while demanding he be reinstated as the team’s starter or given the opportunity to play elsewhere.” “The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase “Open the pod bay door, Hal!”, which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.[5] Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an “iPod” trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.[7] Finally – the reason for the internet – my hero Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis – My favorite part is when they almost hit a parked car, then run a stop sign.  I’ve recently been playing with GIMP, the shareware (free) photo editing software that legally does what Photoshop does. I’ve also been thinking about writing some tutorials (which is one of the reasons I’m doing this 15 posts in 15 days thing – no sleep thing). Note there are some really good tutorials here. But here is what I did just messing around with it (note click on the photos to see them at nearly full size)….
Finally, there is one thing in the picture final picture that I editied for the fun of it – can you find it?
Note – I just previewed it and at this resolution, it’s probably too small to notice – but if body glove wants to use this for a comerical and pay me lots of money, I’ll take it. Okay – tonight I was going to write a post on National Night Out as we celebrated this in our neighborhood with Fire trucks and cop cars and all. I couldn’t find that much and what I could find was google results, so I started playing with how to embed these into a web page – like Marti’s stories on the side…but that did’t work. I was playing with the search results for Gas Prices – even though it didn’t work, I found a few cool things: USA National Gas Temperature Map
 Here’s this evening’s activities. Erika and I skied and wakeboarded on a calm, hot day.  This morning, before I got out of bed, it was really windy. The wind caught the corner of the bathroom mirror that was in our bedroom until the bathroom is finished. And CRASH! It broke into a million pieces. I then went from a run and was coming back into our neighborhood and the neighbors black cat crossed in from of me. I found this wikipedia article on superstitions and it got me thinking even more… I just wrote about the umbrella song – I didn’t open it inside though. I think I’m running out of things to write about.. |
