Ok, so not counting Rossi and his 100+ point lead, it is pretty close for 2-5. They are all seperated by 1 point between each place.
So my buddy Mike (a baseball nut), IMed me a link and said “What is wrong with the Ruth paragraphs?” So I looked at them:
Ruth's plans for a holdout helped engineer his trade to the Yankees. But he probably could have lived with what Ramirez makes: He is due $64.2 million from his $160 million, eight-year contract. That includes $19 million in 2006, $18 million in 2007 and $20 million in 2008. The deal also includes team options for two additional seasons at $20 million annually.
He wasnt traded HE WAS SOLD!!! These guys are supposed to be sports righter, and one of the worst mistakes in baseball history, they get WRONG! This is the negatives of internet. Some little boy will think that Ruth was actually traded when he was sold. Idiots of the internet.

Being an MVP, you have contacts. I believe one of them is Major Nelson. Now given, he has his blog set up in June of 2004. So it is over a year old. Now this new dude “Major Ynos” (caugh*SONY*caugh), has set up his blog post E3 (IE May 2005). Now I was reading how it is MS's “mistake” to add HD-DVD at a later date. Please note the comment Ynos made:
DR -- I've only deleted posts that contain vulgarities and over-the-top insults toward me or my readers. I do not, repeat, no not masquerade as other posters. I post as, "Mark Creig" all the time. You can verify it is me through the TypeKey account.
This site is objective. Today's piece for instance objectively looks at Microsoft's mistake in including a HD-DVD after the fact. I don't see how it can be any more objective.
This site is not set up to mock Major Nelson. If anything his site attempts to mock us! I do not visit his site or remark on it, other than referencing his over-the-top falsified charts comparing the Xbox 360 to the Playstation 3.
Maybe I should tell Mark that he is copying Major, as Major was set up first.
I am watching real time video that you can find at
Teamxbox.com, bundled with an interview with lead designer of Gears of War. Now watching the video and the REAL TIME gameplay, I was thinking...this guy cant shoot. You see it in the PGR3 demo. Where are they shooting at, in the loss of quality due to compression does the end viewer not see something that this guy (or girl) is shooting at? I dont think so, you just se him spreying bullets like his life depended on it.
Man, they need people like me (hehe) to go and play these games, so when they do interviews or keynotes or game showcases, they can have someone atleast descent playing and making the game look even better.
I dont know how companies let them happen. Ok, verbal leaks are impossibly to prevent...you just dont know who will squeel. But ones with pictures are worse. How can you let someone, take a picture of stuff you dont want people to see? Make them dump their cameras and/or cell phones in a big or a locker and then do a presentation.
My god, that is sweetness:
Edit: So apparently these are the regular doors. I said "with Lambo doors" because that is the article I read...it happens.
Note: This is probably the audio that you are hearing. :)
I should probably tell you more about this. While in digital design, I created this on Soundtrack. It is a really cool program from Apple (only for Apple...that is the bummer). They give you a library of non-copyright sounds and you create you own mix/song/audio file. It was cool, but you have to go in with an idea of what you want to do.
So we all know the sun has been here for a WHILE, but the Mets Mike Cameron doesnt. Here is his quote from a recent Sports Illustrated:
"The sun has been there for 500,600 years."
Close Mike, but just a little off.
Is there an orientation? I have no clue, I dont think I have any documentation on it. What do they do at orientation anyways?

I am all for a compromise.
Well, with the bad rep they are getting because people have CONSTANT problems with EA and the XBL service.
Electronic Arts announced today financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2005. The company said it lost $58 million in the first quarter because of sluggish sales.

The Eminem/Aerosmith song. I dont know, I just find it SOOO good. Eminem has very good lyrics, and the instruments/beats just keep you hooked.
Neda, be aware MotoGP info:
FIM (governing body of the MotoGP World Championship) has released the provisional calendar for the 2006 season.

As of right now, it appears the same # of rounds are present and the same tracks as this year. (17 tracks). But they are in a different order. I am really glad to see the US having a grand prix again. I really would like to go there, but, not for a couple of years atleast. Its great to just see them in the US.
Do you want your ice cream to be scooped with this (it would make me feel sick):
Dane cook talked about it (Ill search for the audio clip on the CD I have of him), bu car crashes are something people can not avoid looking at. Today at work, there was a car crash right outside the pool, and the whole pool cleared out to see it. It was insane.
This is bad. I am an Xbox.com MVP and I dont have their new product pre-ordered. Not good.
THe Motorola/Oakley joint product. From my understanding it is sunglasses (where Oakley comes in) and a bluetooth receiver/headphones (where motorola comes in). I would assume as you wear them, you can strap something to your portable music player and be able to listen.

Gizmodo talked about some more details:
I'm RAZRed out. RAZR this, RAZR that. Now we have the RAZRWIRE which is just a little dongle that hangs off of a pair of Oakley sunglasses that looks like a caterpillar dropping.
This thing looks worse than the THUMP and supports Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2, which means you may be able to listen to dedicated Bluetooth streaming media devices in glorious mono audio.
500 hours talk time, 1000 hours standby time, and 5-second feelin'-cool-factor until someone asks you why your dog puked on your sunglasses. Cingular and Oakley stores will carry these.
Doesnt support Bluetooth 2.0 and mono audio?!?
I will attempt to embed the video. Hopefully this time it will work in both IE and FF.
Saw this back in the day, but the topic just came up in the forums about a "real life warthog".
