Pacers up 2 -1..

Posted on April 30th, 2005 in Sports, Technology, Television | No Comments »

So the Pacers are up 2-1 in the first round versus Boston thanks in large part to, you guessed it, Reggie Miller. Game four is tonight in Indianapolis. I’d love to be going. It seems like a sure win since Antoine Walker was booted from the last game and suspended from this one. However, a lot of those “sure wins” end up losses if you forget that you still have to play. Still, it would be a pretty fun game to see.


So I couldn’t find the fifth season DVDs for the West Wing. I’m actually not sure where I remember reading that they would be out this past Tuesday, but it would have been really cool to find them. Anyhow, I guess Amazon.com is listing it as unreleased with no projected release date. I suppose it could be something that I just heard as a rumor somewhere.


Slashdot is running an article about World of Warcraft which is none too flattering, but I have to kinda agree. I haven’t really been playing as much as I used to, and even I can tell that there’s not enough content out there for the truly addicted MMORPGers. I used to play over 50 hours a week (while working full time) and I know that there’s some seriously dedicated players who are beyond bored with the current situation. Here’s to hoping that Blizzard can get it’s act together quickly.

Wow. So I’ve been busy this week and I’ve had a really unusual schedule. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things. Anyhow, I did want to mention that I’ve totally dominated the fantasy sports leagues this year. I won our fantasy football league. I came in second in our tournament pick’em. Last but not least, I dominated our fantasy NBA league and officially won that over the weekend.

Now, if only I could convince Reggie Miller to not retire this year.

blog updates..

Ok, I have taken some time and modified the “Sharepoint like” theme made by admin-bg. I mostly just changed some colors and formatting. The formatting is still pretty much original.

I also came up with a better title and theme for this blog. I’m calling it “dreaming out loud..” and I’ve added a quote from Elizabeth Barrett Browning as a sort of sub-title. She says, “Because God’s gifts put man’s best gifts to shame.” When you think of all the real advances humans have made by dreaming big, the gifts that God has given us really have put them all to shame. Thus, I don’t really mind sharing my dreams. Even if they aren’t all that good or realistic when compared to the best that other people have had, neither of us has managed to dream up something that’s really good.

In other news, Tiger Woods won the Masters! I actually got to see a bunch of the last round. I don’t normally watch all that much golf, but I will make exceptions during the majors. My grandfather liked watching golf. I remember watching the Skins game over Thanksgiving with him on a number of occasions. Anyhow, I’m happy Tiger pulled this one out. Everyone likes to see people break records and Tiger needed another major to keep on pace to break Jack’s 18 majors.
