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 […]

Review: "Oh! Gravity" by Switchfoot
Meta note: This is my first attempt at a style of review that makes more sense to me than what I’ve done occasionally in the past. While I don’t feel qualified to criticize the musical content of most recordings, that’s not the only important aspect to me when I’m listening to music myself. Hopefully this type […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Month-end meta: February 2007
I get curious about who visits my site, when they visit, and why they come, so I use a number of different tracking services. My favorite is Google Analytics, since it’s the most detailed and reliable, and it filters out the noise of all the bots and crawlers that pass through. GA puts a little […]
Shaping up and selling out, sort of
This blog is important to me and has been (in its various forms) for about 3 years now. I’ve been sidetracked a lot along the way and changed my site over and over again. Only in the last 8 months or so did I start consolidating all of my writing interests into one blog. Managing […]
A good old-fashioned link dump
I read a lot of blogs, mainly in the realms of general news headlines, technology, politics, sports, and comedy, along with the blogs of several of my friends and acquaintances. As the number of blogs I read increased, I found the need to save time by using an RSS reader to aggregate everything into one nice, neat […]
