September 2007 Archives

I know that you have all been following my exploits over on Gridskipper. They include posts on public golf courses, best football bars, and places for a good microbrew. I am going to do comedy clubs this week or next, and dog parks are coming up soon as well.

So, two months into my iPhone life, Apple decided to lower the price. A lot of people were upset that they were charged an extra $200 just for wanting one earlier, but people who are early adopters of technology. If you want to make people cry, show them how far the prices of their big LCD or plasma television has dropped since they lost bought it.

Anyway, I still enjoy my iPhone and their are lots of ways to customize it these days. I love the facebook app, and there is a mobile Movable Type plug-in that should make it easier for me to blog when things pop in my head. You can add custom ringtones, etc. There is so much potential, and I an interested in seeing what is going to be coming up in the future.

You know, I understand why people hate the Yankees so much. For the last ten years, they have always been at the top, and people love an underdog. Although they follow the rules, they have been seen as a team that can only buy success. This year, the story has changed a little bit, thanks to some hard work by Brian Cashman. The Yankees are trusting in their scouts and their farm system and not just hired guns. Of course, we would be nowhere without Alex Rodriguez, but the most exciting story since the All-Star break has been the emergence of Joba Chamberlain.

Joba Chamberlain has great stuff, and he has climbed from single-A ball to the majors in just one year. And although he will probably be a hated Yankee in no time, he does have a great background story. Sometimes we get so cynical about athletes and the millions that they make, but listening to a story like Joba's reminds you of all the hard work of people we never get to hear of that make the lives of some of these athletes possible.

Hey everybody, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I wanted to mention that our friend Katie has a new episode of her talk show posted on YouTube. Highlights include a Hollywood makeover and a shopping trip with Victoria Beckham. Enjoy!
