MLB over the years, from baseballs to shrunken balls
I was sitting next to the dugout of the Braves at AT&T park the other night, and our group couldn’t help but notice that Julio Franco, who’s closing in on social security eligibility, was carrying a couple of magnums on either arm. We had no idea how he managed to get into the ballpark […]

Played with the iPhone ZOMGS!!!
Had about 5 minutes worth of time with it, and was left extremely unimpressed. UI wasn’t nearly as cool as I thought it’d be, compared to my windows mobile phone. Just think of it as Windows XP vs OS X, different forms, same sort of functionality.
