I noticed this morning for the second time that the layout on this blog had been changed against my will. It’s not a WordPress issue, it’s just someone doing a great job hacking my site. Now, I’m figuring out that it’s not just my problem; in fact, it’s a problem across Mysitespace (my hosting service). They have been […]

Motivating myself to review stuff
Every now and then, I buy a new CD or DVD, or I see a movie in the theater, and I switch into what I like to call “review mode,” where I try to think critically about the piece in question, its content, its production, and its meaning. This mode has manifest itself in a […]
Fantasy Cornerstone: Buy low, Sell high
I don’t intend for this to be part of a series of fantasy baseball advice posts. It’s not like you should listen to me as opposed to people who write for ESPN, Sportsline, or whatever other site you use. After all, I’m in eighth place right now in my 10-team league. Still, that won’t stop […]
Everyone needs a feed, mine just says Google
About a week ago, I declared a free-for-all in the competition for my feed reader of choice. Now, I get to declare a winner, and as the headline suggests, it’s Google Reader. So, what makes Google Reader better than Bloglines? Sharing is fun – I have a feed of my recently read items on the […]
April Trends
I’ve been blogging about basketball in some form on this site for a couple of years now, but until this year, I’ve been pretty inconsistent with my baseball notes. I’m trying to rectify that this year and keep more of a fixed weekly schedule with occasional other updates, but that didn’t help this site in […]
I do actually watch football, too
If you don’t actually know me personally, you probably aren’t aware that I’m a San Francisco 49ers fan. That’s been the case since I was fairly young, about the same time as the popularity of Tecmo Super Bowl for NES. I loved the Montana-to-Rice combo on the game, and I actually have family connections to the […]
Fighting the war on spam comments
For the last 3-4 days, I’ve been fighting another barrage of spam comments, but thanks to the Akismet plugin, almost none of it actually reached the site. Unfortunately, something even worse managed to hack into the site and actually upload some not-so-nice pages to my site, so I have some permission-editing to do in order […]
Theme Mischief
I’ve been playing around with my WordPress theme for the past few days, so if you stumble across the blog and everything looks different or you can’t find something, let me know in the comments. I’m looking for a theme that is a bit more minimalist, a 2-column design (rather than 3), and something that […]
Giving Google Reader a chance
I’ve been an avid Bloglines user for the better part of two years. I read a lot of stuff online, and while I don’t think it’s really saved me time, it has allowed me to be more efficient as I’ve come across more and more interesting web sites. If a site I like has an […]
Month-end Meta: March 2007
It couldn’t be clearer that basketball drives this site. Starting about the second week of March, my visits tumbled, and I started posting less often. I’ve moved on to baseball now, I guess, and luckily, there are a lot of other great sites out there tracking baseball stats. I don’t have to put as much legwork […]
