nowalmartSo much to write about!
The most pressing news is that on Wednesday I will be flying down to the Atlanta/Athens, GA area for a week. I will return next Tuesday.
Already procured for the trip? A set of four tickets to see the Braves play on Saturday, along with four MORE tickets to the Braves game on Sunday.
It is not coincidence that I am going to visit Georgia this weekend, nor that I have tickets to these games. You see, everyone's favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, will be traveling down to Turner Field this weekend, as well.
Speaking of Red Sox games - I was privileged to go to the earlier Sox game yesterday (Sunday) thanks to a coworker with a sick girlfriend. The sick girlfriend was not feeling up to going, especially standing the whole game, since the tickets were standing room tickets on top of the Green Monster.
What a great place to see a Red Sox game.
What a great game to see, as well. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, two runners on base, two runs down, and two strikes. Who who do you want a the plate? The best clutch hitter in baseball right now, David "Big Papi" Ortiz. Belts one into the right field stands for a 5-4 win.
I admit I had my doubts with him at the plate. This is why he gets MVP honors, but you never think you are going to be at a game where he does that. You always think you are going to be at the game where he ends up striking out, and you see the next game's highlights on television, where he belts one out to win the game.
But I was there...
At work we now have a few extra computers. One is a 500MHz Indigo iMac (dual firewire, 512MB of RAM, 20GB HD, CD-RW). One of the others is a Mac Classic.
While I am moving in the not-too-distant future, I had some thoughts about acquiring them.
The plan for the Indigo would be to rip out the CRT and the guts of the machine. Find a small case to jam the MLB, the PSU, and the hard drive (and other parts needed to get it running). Basically a G3 Mac mini. Toss the CRT (in an environmentally friendly manner, of course), and give the shell to a friend for a cat bed.
The plan for the Mac Classic is more obvious - MacQuarium! There are some good directions out there. I think with my experience building Pixel's aquarium, this should be fairly easy.
Ponies will have an appropriate home in the back of the Fruit Stand!
In completely unrelated news, I signed up for a team triathlon with two coworkers for the middle of July. Anyone in the Boston area who wants to help cheer us on (or just provide transportation and logistical support), let me know!

Date: 2006-06-13 11:07 am (UTC)I will definitely have time, the only problem will be location. I will mainly be staying in Athens, and I no longer have a driver's license.
Let me know, though. We should be able to figure something out.

The monster of biking...
The goliath of all things two-wheeled...
So crazy cars end up in a ditch from hitting *him*...
Our very own Padfield!
