“There is no off position on the genius switch.” –David Letterman
We rely on technology more and more every day. Is that a good thing?
Right now, looks like my TiVo may be down for the count and I’m scared! How will I survive? I’ve come to rely so much on that damn thing. And my wife, who wasn’t too sure about it in the first place, is more scared than me, I think.
What piece of technology have you become maybe a little too reliant on?
Wow…2 posts in 1 day!
Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a Yankee fan. Well news today is that Aaron Boone hurt his knee playing basketball and could be out the ENTIRE season. What a big bust he has turned out to be. Other than the one home run off Wakefield, this guy has been pretty worthless…and now this.
That brings me to my real question. How much control should a team have over one of their investments? I mean, should the Yankees have to pay him a salary this year? I’ve heard of a lot of strange things being written into athletes contracts, but how far is too far? Then again, that is a huge investment to pay these athletes without a safety clause and it truly is a business now days.
I’m usually not one to get too caught up in politics.
That said, is it me or are the Democratic hopefuls really weak? I admit I really haven’t been following much, but nobody is standing out to me. I thought Wesley Clark was initially interesting, but has since faded.
Here is an interesting poll on the topic.
I love to read. And that’s going to be a topic of a future post, but I simply crave information.
One topic that I could alway use help in is finances. Anyone have any good sources of financial information?
I have read a couple of the Motley Fool books…those guys are great and their web site is a good source of info too.
Also, one of my high school buddies has been running his financial portal web site for some time now. Check out InvestmentSeek.com
Another good find by Ed…free Del Lago golf for your birthday!

So now, after all this time of denying that he ever bet on baseball, Pete Rose is confessing his sins against baseball.
Baseball’s all-time hit leader bet on baseball while he was managing the Reds. However disappointing this may be, we really kinda knew it happened.
What do you think this does for Pete, his standing in the baseball world, in the baseball record books or as a man? Why now, after all these years, give in and admit you bet on baseball Pete?
Whatever you believe, it’s all major publicity for his upcoming book. Was that the motivation for giving in? I guess we’ll find out Pete’s side of the story soon…looks like he has a tv interview sometime this Thursday.
Will baseball, and more importantly, the Commissioner forgive him? Stay tuned…
Happy New Year everyone! A little late, I know but things have been busy lately. Sorry for the sparse postings through the holidays but hopefully things will quiet down a bit now.
