There looks to be a few minor issues cropping up with the new version of WordPress. I’m in no rush to upgrade and I’d advise anyone considering it to research all the potential issues before doing so. I suspect most of these minor bugs will be cleared up over the next week or so as […]
Xbox 360 revealed
Engadget has a post on the new Xbox 360 that is as yet still unofficially released despite Microsoftâ??s Xbox360 Revealed launch party in Los Angeles last week. What’s really interesting is the 300+ comments on the brief post. I’d say there’s some interest in the new Xbox…

Poorly designed web sites
BusinessWeek may have one of the worst designed web sites, in terms of user readability, that I’ve come across recently. The placement of animated ads in three areas above the fold, immediately makes me search for the “printer-friendly version” link. It’s the only way I can read their articles.

To this point, I haven’t been the biggest fan of Gmail, but it was very interesting to see how someone is incorporating Getting Things Done (GTD) with their own preferences […]
Baseball blogs?
Not sure why I’m on a baseball tangent today. It’s not like my team (the Pittsburgh Pirates) is doing very well this year. I just read an intriguing post though at Om Malik’s site theorizing that Six Apart and Major League Baseball have a baseball blog project in the works called mlblogs.com. Very interesting and […]
Baseball on the web
Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post lists the best places on the web to follow baseball games. As MLB charges for live video feeds (that aren’t great quality anyway), monitoring games on the web is the next best thing for fans.
Layman's guide to Fedspeak
BusinessWeek has a great article entitled A Layman’s Guide to Fedspeak that takes all the possible statements from the Fed and gives them an interpreted meaning.
