ESPN has too much time on its hands
ESPN2 is running the World Dominoes Championships right now. I think they are hoping dominoes will become the next poker. Not a chance. I'd rather watch hockey.Monday, June 12, 2006
Stupid statistics
From today's San Jose Mercury News, "Moises Alou became the 19th player to hit a home run on his own bobblehead giveaway day, according to David Hallstrom of the Society for American Baseball Research."Why is anyone tracking THAT statistic?

Ann Coulter is now officially crazy
Or maybe she just figures the only way to get people to pay attention to her is to go the Pat Robertson route and say something so outrageous that it makes the news. Sure, it would be easy to write a reasoned, objective book about those who lost loved ones on 9/11 without resorting to name-calling, but that might only get you one or two hits on Google News rather than a couple of pages. Way to raise the bar, Ann.Thursday, June 01, 2006
I'm so proud
As most of you know, tomorrow is my last day at Wily... or CA as we're now known since we were bought by them a few months ago. CA just announced that it "delayed its quarterly results and warned that it would post a surprise loss after finding that it incorrectly accounted for sales commissions, dealing a fresh blow to the management software firm that has worked to turn around its business and put a multibillion-dollar accounting scandal behind it."This is shortly after former CA, Inc. chairman Sanjay Kumar pleaded guilty to securities fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice.
I'll miss the people there. I probably won't miss the rest of it....
