 Sons of Sam Horn 2003 Jimmy Fund Donation. I appreciate all of the comments and pledges in support of the 2003 team. And I can tell you the Sox will really appreciate the initiative you took here. It would have been very easy to take a negative attitude with regard to a great team not quite making it to the World Series. Instead, you celebrate what was indeed a turning point in construction of Red Sox teams by saying thank you to the players who showed so much heart this year with dollars earmarked for a great cause. That is quite a statement.One of the owners of the Boston Red Sox, John Henry, posts to a Red Sox message board about their donation to the Jimmy Fund. Cool. via [ Andrew Bayer ] posted by Steve at 4:15 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

Celtics Top Nets to End Preseason: My Celtics Experience From the 4th Row. Joshua couldn't make the Celtics pre-season game last night so he gave me his tickets! He said he only wants $11 for them, but I think they're worth more. They were in section one, right at half-court, four rows from the floor. I had expected a little more legroom, but I guess the Fleet Center has to cram as many seats in there as possible. It's a great location to watch the game from, looking at the scoreboard makes your neck sore though. THE PLAYERS Going into the game I was excited to see Jiri Welsh. The first time he touched the ball, he couldn't catch it and it went out of bounds. :-( He didn't do so well in the five minutes he played. I'm sure he'll do better as he gets more playing time. Vin Baker looked amazing. Paul Pierce makes getting baskets look easy from anywhere on the floor. Raef LaFrentz did a great job getting both offensive and defensive rebounds. He's going to work out just fine. Both Marcus Banks and Mike James are what you'd call speedy! THE CROWD Since we had a few empty seats around us, we were visited my many different people all night long, who chose to try out our neighboring seats. THE CHANGING CAST OF CHARACTERS SITTING NEXT TO US: The Three Teenage Boys Sitting In Our Seats: I asked them if we were in teh right section and they quickly moved down. then when other people came they more over to the next section. Later they moved farther away. I think they spent their whole night moving all around the Fleet Center. What are the ushers there for anyway. They didn't care one bit who was sitting in any of the seats. Maybe after hte season starts they enforce the tickets more, but from this experience I might just grab a $10 ticket and go sit in the $140 seats myself. The Teenage Girls Behind Us: These teenage girls spent all their time on the cell phone talking about boys and getting up and down and running over to see a boy who was a ball boy. They even sat forward in their seats so that their piercing shrill voices would go right in my ear. Thanks girls. They Guy Who Yelled 'WALKER'. So the guys sitting in the row in front of us yells, 'WALKER'. I was more like 'WAAAAA-KEERRRRRRRRR'. Does he think it's amusing? I guess. The Two Boys Beside Us: These two little kids had Celtics shirts on and were nicely behaved. Between the 2nd and 3rd quarter, shirts were thrown into the stands. Well some guy jumped up in front of the little kids and grabbed the shirt. The Celtics shirt-throwers on the court told him to give it to the little kid that he jumped in front of. He said no. So a guy sitting 3 rows back went out and bought the kid a Celtics shirt and gave it to him. That was so nice. The little kid went up and shook his hand and thanked him. The Father and Three Little Kids Who Like To Kick Chairs: OK, so just the little kids were kicking the chairs. They were only there for one quarter though. Celtics Wives: Behind us were the Celtics wives. Their little kids were so cute. They were so excited to get on the scoreboard camera. I'd like to know who the blonde was? It looked like she just got off a modeling shoot. THE CROWD WENT NUTS The crowd really rocked the rafters and made so much noise it was amazing. It didn't happen during the game though. The crowd went crazy to win some black Celtics baseball hats. Do they call them baseball hats? Anyway, the announcer tells the crowd to make some noise to win a hat and the crowd made noise. They also go crazy and dance when the camera puts them on the scoreboard. Typical fan when the camera captures them: 1. Bored 2. See's themselves on scoreboard camera 3. Stand up 4. Wave Hands 5. Shake Booty 6. Look up at scoreboard 7. Keep looking at scoreboard 8. Shake booty 9. Point at logo on shirt Over all I'd say it was a good time. Seeing the Celtics up close allowed me to see the fun they were having in court especially Eric Williams and Walter McCarty. I'm gonna watch some games on TV this year. posted by Steve at 9:24 AM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

HeartStart Home Defibrillator. When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, the electrical system of the heart short-circuits, causing an abnormal rhythm known as ventricular fibrillation. Shocking the heart—known as defibrillation—is the only way to effectively treat this abnormal heart rhythm. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can buy time for someone in cardiac arrest, but only a defibrillator can deliver a potentially life-saving shock.CLEAR! via [ Maxim ] posted by Steve at 7:22 AM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

How to connect a SMC2635W Wireless Card to an Apple Airport wireless network. When you first try to connect to an Apple Airport with WEP enable the SMC Wireless card displays the error: Unable to connect. Hmm. No further explanation. The reason is that you need to plug in the WEP password into the SMC software to allow it to connect to the Airport. This is what you have to do: 1. Open the Apple Airport Utility and note the password that non Apple users must use. That means PC users. It looks something like this: 57rjjmd678903wjmmwkjw28904ehdnkdkdi9902w I'm not kidding you, it really looks something like that. Next, go over to your SMC software and key that into the KEY field. APPLY the change and you'll be able to connect to the Airport WEP network. posted by Steve at 9:29 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

Harpoon Brewery - Friends of Harpoon. I went to the Harpoon Brewery in Boston tonight for a special preview tasting of their new 100 Barrel Series - Abbey Ale. It was WICKED AWESOME! The brewer, Sean Cornelius, talked about how he decided to brew this beer, It was after a trip to Belgium where he really enjoyed the Belgian beers. Who wouldn't? Belgian beers are the best! The 100 Beer Series allows a brewer at Harpoon to make up his own recipe. This beer is amazing. I'd be so psyched if they brewed it year round. Abbey Ale! It's so cool to have a local brewery that is so welcoming and inviting to people who really enjoy their beer. Join the Harpoon Brewery - Friends of Harpoon and you can be invited to events like this too. posted by Steve at 8:49 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

Decriminalize Marijuana In Massachusetts. WHAT: Marijuana Decriminalization Hearing Pending Before Joint Committee on the Judicary NOTE NEW ROOM: WHERE: State House Gardner Auditorium Boston, MA WHEN: Thursday, October 23, 2003, 11:00 A.M. The Massachusetts legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary will hear testimony beginning at 11:00 AM on Thursday, October 23, in Room A-1 on Senate Bill 1119, legislation that would make possession of marijuana a civil violation. S. 1119: - eliminates the authority of the police to take custody of a person over 18 for possessing marijuana; - punishes possession of marijuana by a civil fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 for the first violation and of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for a second or subsequent violation; and, - splits the civil fines collected between the state and the municipality in which the violation occurred. Currently, first time marijuana offenders face a maximum six month jail sentence. This legislation offers significant legal protections to responsible marijuana smokers in Massachusetts. However, legislators will only support this measure if they hear from you. Please take a moment today to write your state representative and senator and tell him or her to support S. 1119.

Boston.com: City election was flawed, state finds. Another violation outlined by the state was the virtual gantlet of candidates and campaigners voters had to walk through to get to some polling places. Under state regulations, electioneering is prohibited within 150 feet of the polls.No kidding! I told the police officer on site at my polling place at Jamaica Plain there were people with signs right at the foot of the stairs to the building. He told me that it's a public place and they had a right to be there. D'oh. I guess he was wrong. Next time this happens I'm going to point it out to the people in charge and if nothing is done to stop it, I'm going to go home, get my video camera, video tape it, and alert the news media!

City of Boston Pothole Web Site. City Councilor Maura Hennigan has set up a Web site for city residents to report potholes and other road and sidewalk hazards. This proper repairing of streets and sidewalks is not a city budget issue. It is not affected by recent budget cutbacks. Utility companies and private contractors pay into a street and sidewalks fund on a regular basis. The purpose of this fund is to have the city permanently repair street and sidewalk excavations. As of this summer, this fund totaled $22 million.Let's start reporting those potholes. posted by Steve at 8:53 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

ESPN.com - Page2 - Bill Simmons on Skin. That reminds me, I was on the phone with one of my buddies this weekend talking about 'Skin.' Has there ever been a show with a shorter shelf life? Wouldn't it have been a much better mini-series? Sure, they're doing the 'Romeo and Juliet' thing, and the DA will be battling the porn czar and stuff. But how much mileage can you get out of that? By episode five, the ads will be like, 'And on a very special Skin, Julia runs away from home again!' If I were them, I would have switched the families and had the daughter's Dad be the district attorney -- this way, Ron Silver could have lured her into the porn business after she dumped his son. But that's just me.Bill also writes about Grady Little too. posted by Steve at 3:39 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

NY Times: Clark Skips Iowa's Caucuses What we'll do is what I call the General MacArthur strategy,' a senior Clark adviser said. 'General MacArthur was very successful in World War II because he skipped over the Japanese strongholds, where they were more organized, and instead picked islands that were favorable or neutral terrain. Which means we would choose not to focus resources on Iowa and instead focus them on New Hampshire and on Feb. 3,' when there are Democratic contests in seven states.Nice. Michael J.

I Bought My First 22.5". I used to buy 45's when new songs came out. Kids now call them 7" records. At Apple's Music Event this week [ QuickTime Video ], Steve Jobs unveiled iTunes for Windows. Once again he did an amzing job. I'd have to say that he's the best on stage presenter I have ever seen. If you are a Windows user you can now buy songs from the iTunes Music Store. First you need to get iTunes. Then you'll be able to buy single tracks off an album, or the whole album. They've got audio books now too. I bought the new Dido single.

Hey! $2 is $2. It's the principle of the thing. I walked into Microcenter to day and saw that they had this SMC EZ Connect 802.11b Wireless PCMCIA Network Adapter SMC2635W on sale for 20% off with an instant rebate of $2 and a mail in rebate of $10. So I picked it up and brought it to the register. I looked at the list price, $39.99, and did a quick calculation to see what my total cost would be. I'll usually do that to make sure it gets rung up correctly. Do you do it too? Anyway, I figured that it would be $40 less 20% which would be $32, less $2 would make it $30. So I got to the register and the cashier tells me that it's going to be $33.60 Hmm... seems a little high. I asked the cashier how he came to that price and he told me that it was $39.99 less 20% which equaled $31.99 plus tax. I said, "What about the $2 instant rebate?" "Oh, you get that in the mail," he replied. I told him that I was supposed to get a $2 instant rebate in addition to the 20% discount. He just shrugged his shoulders and said something about there not being any $2 instant rebate. I told him that it said so on the sign and went back to re-read the sign. I asked him if there was anyone that he could call and he said, "Well, I could call the manager." I said, "Ok, why don't you do that because the $2 instant rebate on the sign must mean something and I'd like to know what it refers to." So the manager came over and gave me the additional $2 off. Whew. And don't get me started as to why it's listed at $29.99 on the web site. posted by Steve at 3:48 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

Reminder: Movie good, murder bad. Death Penalty. I was interviewed for a Boson University student video project today about my thoughts on Mitt Romney's proposed death penalty reinstatement in Massachusetts. I can think of two reasons why the death penalty should be reinstated in Massachusetts; the brutal murder of Alexandra Zapp at a Bridgewater rest stop, and the murder of 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley. There are Massachusetts Citizens Against the Death Penalty. Governor Romney is Pushing for the Death Penalty. "I really am looking for a standard of certainty," Governor Romney said in an interview. "That's why I've asked this panel of experts to determine if a legal and forensic standard can be crafted to assure us that only the guilty will suffer the death penalty. I believe it can be."Christian Science Monitor: Innocent until (sort of) proven guilty. posted by Steve at 3:16 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion
