I’m testing out the new email to blogger thing. I know it works, but I want to see how it looks coming from a web-based email account. 😛
I did a stupid thing and republished my whole weblog. So now if you go back through the archives, they all have the same layout as this page. I’m sad! I knew I should have taken those screenshots of my weblog before. 🙁
So let’s see how this looks before I go to sleep…
I’m a little taken aback by Blogger’s new look, but I wanted to post about today before I started exploring the new digs. Hmm, kinda spiffy!
I hope it works on my PowerBook. 😉
Baseball first!

Woohoo, Mulder won! 😀 A complete game at that. Lovely. 😉
Dinner at Haps
We had a very nice dinner at a restaurant called Haps in Pleasanton. Fancy! The service was great and the food was EXCELLENT!
Al Davis walked in near the end of our dinner. Weird!
The restaurant was lovely though. I had filet mignon, medium. Delicious!
Survivor All Stars
Well, I’m going to vote for Colby. Or Rupert. I’m not sure yet. I think I’ll wait and see the videos that are supposed to be online tomorrow morning. 😛
And I must say, some people on that show are whiny hypocrites.
Congrats to Amber. I think I wanted Rob to win though. LOL! But happy happy joy joy to them both…
First, off, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mommies out there. What would the world be without all of you?
For the techie in me
TechTV lays off San Francisco staff – I actually read about this first at Leo’s site, then I found the article at CNet. Alas, alas! Does this mean no more of The Screen Savers or Call for Help or Fresh Gear or Unscrewed?! This just isn’t right! 🙁 I am so sad.
We have DirecTV, so we don’t get G4 at the moment. And we really have no way to get it because we don’t get Comcast here. And not that we would go back to cable anyway. They called it digital cable, but it looked so utterly crappy that we decided never to go back to cable. 😛
Minnesota 3, Oakland 2 at Network Associates Coliseum
Winning Pitcher – J.C. Romero (2-1)
Losing Pitcher – Jim Mecir (0-3)
SV – Joe Nathan(8)
MIN Runs: 3, Hits: 10, Errors: 1
OAK Runs: 2, Hits: 10, Errors: 1
Oakland Record: (14-16)
Happy birthday to Sara!
She won’t read this and I’ve already said Happy Birthday to her. She’s eight. 😉 It’s amusing going to a kid party.
On the way home…
We took the very scenic route from Livermore to Salida. Mostly backroads and just a little bit of the freeway. It was kinda cool. I liked it…
Minnesota 9, Oakland 11 at Network Associates Coliseum (Friday)
Winning Pitcher – Chad Bradford (2-1)
Losing Pitcher – Terry Mulholland (0-1)
MIN Runs: 9, Hits: 16, Errors: 0
OAK Runs: 11, Hits: 15, Errors: 1
Oakland Record: (14-15)
I was “resting my eyes” when Byrnes hit his homerun. Oops! But WOOHOO! 😀 I’m so glad they won…
It’s the bottom of the 10th, 1 out, Durazo at the plate with a 3-0 count. Ball FOUR! Two men on base now and Karros is up…
I thought I’d take advantage of our wireless network and write while the game is on.
Ball one to Karros.
It’s been a decent game. A lot of scoring. 😉
Two balls, no strikes… Strike one, 2-1… Fly out. Blah!
Menechino is up with two outs and two on. We just need a base hit… Ball one… Ball two… The bench is anxious. Will Frankie come through?… Ball three… Twins manager out to talk to the homeplate umpire… Strike one, 3-1. Come on Frankie! Bastards, out! Blah…
So off we go to the 11th inning…
NY Yankees 4, Oakland 7 at Network Associates Coliseum
Winning Pitcher – Rich Harden (1-2)
Losing Pitcher – Javier Vazquez (3-3)
SV – Jim Mecir(1)
NYY Runs: 4, Hits: 6, Errors: 0
OAK Runs: 7, Hits: 10, Errors: 0
Oakland Record: (13-15)
Woohoo! We were there for most of the game. We left in the bottom of the 7th. Twas a good game! Of course, it didn’t quite start out that way, but Rich Harden settled down after the 2nd inning and worked a bit of magic. And okay, I’m glad Mecir had a good 9th inning. It still scares me when he’s on the mound. 😛
