Crazy week with baseball games Tuesday through Friday. It felt like we were in the majors! We won three out of the four though, to put our record over .500 for the season. The offense is really on a roll and on nights when we keep the silly errors down, we can beat anybody.
Tuesday was [...]
While it might now be possible to buy a plug-in electric “car” for less than $20k (if you call three wheels and two seats a car), I honestly don’t see myself driving a plug-in vehicle anytime soon. Transportation for the foreseeable future will continue to rely on internal combustion for the vast majority of people. [...]
In a very interesting New York Times article, the fact that Japan is “running out of engineers” is explored in some detail. They note that engineering graduate numbers have been on the decline for two decades in Japan, and that they are also declining in the US. But in the US and other countries the [...]
Colin Comerci invited Meagan to the Salisbury Prom. They gathered with a gang at Patrick’s house before the big event. Cameras everywhere! I put my best shots in the photo gallery.
Meagan took a bunch of good shots at the prom and afterward. I’ve added these to the gallery. Enjoy!
The midget boys team played a solid game and posted a convincing 15-7 victory over Schadt Avenue last night. Ariel Soto was dominant in two separate appearances as pitcher and was equally solid in the field and at the plate. All the boys hit well and errors were few and far between. It was a [...]
I missed every event for the last week thanks to a nasty back spasm that sent me to the hospital. Well on the road to recovery now so I made it to the soccer game today. It was a well played game on both sides, our boys just didn’t have the offensive attack they normally [...]
The DOE wants to spend $1.3 billion on multiple clean coal power plants in in initiative called FutureGen, but Senator Durbin (D-Ill) says he won’t let it happen. You see the Senator is upset, because originally all of the money was supposed to be spent on a single plant in his state. The plug was [...]
I want to believe in this. I really do! Intel, TI, Panny and others have formed a group attempting to set standards for home networking, using the wiring that is already found in the majority of homes (power, telephone and coax).
The promise of a “Smart Home” is as old as computing. Many companies have come [...]
Tuesday was a double header. William had a baseball game and Meagan had softball at Pates Park. Sadly both teams lost. Long night.
Pictures from the baseball game in the gallery. No pics from softball.
