Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
The Colorado Rockies beat the New York Yankees again tonight, 6-1.
It was an amazing night and a lot closer than the score shows. Up until the sixth inning, it was 0-0 and a classic pitchers duel.
But in the sixth, the Yankees put together a couple of hits and got a run across. But in the bottom of the sixth, Matt Holliday crushed a 442 foot home run up onto the concourse in left field to give the Rockies the lead for good. Continue reading “Rockies Defeat the Yankees Again!”
Apple’s New iPhone | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source
The Onion has come out with the specs for the new iPhone due out from Apple on June 29.
Who knew it could do all this stuff?
This is pretty good article for all of those who are tired of all this iPhone news.
The Denver Post – People: Is Rosie right for the “Price”?
Well if they hire Rosie for this show I will definitely not watch it anymore.
Her attitudes and the way that she treats people will ruin this show and disgrace all the good things that Bob Barker did to build the brand of the “Price is Right”.
“…people watch The Price is Right because it is a comfortable experience, and with Rosie, well, I don’t think it would be that anymore because her personal baggage would end up hurting the show.” – Matthew @ Culture Kills “Rosie O’Donnell and the Price Is Right…“
My opinion, don’t hire Rosie.
Comcast had been broadcasting the Colorado Rockies home games in High Definition and then all of the sudden when the New York Yankees come to town, they don’t do it.
What is up?
Comcast has got to be one of the worst cable providers. They do weird stuff and want more money to do anything.
Come on Comcast. Get with it and carry the Rockies in HD!
The Colorado Rockies played an incredible game tonight and beat the New York Yankees 3-1 in a well played game on both sides.
Josh Fogg lead the Rockies holding them to only one run that was scored on a ground-out early in the game. The pitching tonight was capped with a strike-out of Johnny Damon by Fuentes to get the save.
Taveras got the scoring going when he scored on a single by Atkins and Torrealba capped the scoring with a home run to right-center field.
The sell-out crowd kept drowning out the Yankees fans in the crowd who tried to rally the visiting team. Let’s Go Yankees turned to Let’s Go Rockies!
Way to go Rockies and lets go get them tomorrow night.
I have re-download Safari for Windows because of the fix of some of the security issue and I am finding 3.0.1 more stable than 3.0.
It is nice to work with and comfortable to the eye, but I don’t see myself moving away from Firefox.
I feel that Safari is slower at rendering pages, contrary to Apple claims, and the text issue is better but it could render text a lot better.
To make the text better, I used Cambria font and turned the font smoothing set to Light.
The other problem is that this blog uses WordPress and Safari for Windows does not manage the dashboard that well. I am unable to use the rich text editor or place any links in the post. That just doesn’t cut if for me.
It is better and more stable, but it is not quite up to Firefox and that is where I am going to stay for a while.

Apple: You can gab on that iPhone for eight hours | Tech news blog – CNET News.com
This seems like good news. It will be interesting to see if this rolls out to the regular iPod.
Eight hours of talk time, seven hours of video watching, or up to 24 hours of audio listening.
I think this will put a lot of fears to rest.
The U.S. Open was by far more fair to the golfers today than yesterday.
If you hit it in the fairway and hit the greens, you could score. If you didn’t, you were penalized. That is the way it is supposed to be.
Tiger Woods did a great job of course management until the 18th hole. He just missed some puts he should have made earlier in the round. Aaron Baddeley had a wonderful round including getting a birdie on the last hole.
It is going to be a fun day tomorrow with Woods and Baddeley in the last group.
Mothers planning ‘nurse-in’ at Elitch’s
I just want to say good for them.
My wife breast-fed both of our kids and they should be able to breast feed them anywhere and at anytime, especially in places where the public is allowed.
Breast feeding is a natural process of raising kids and a provides some great nurturing for the kids. It worked great for us. Continue reading “Mothers planning ‘nurse-in’ at Elitch’s”
