Rockies Beat the Yankees

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.

Safari 3.0.1 is a little more stable

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.

Will have to see if this will work for me.  There is always so much going on, I need to do something with GTD.

I have had some frutstrations with Stikkit before.  Will see if they get resolved or I stay with Backpack.

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.

A more fair US Open today

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.

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 →

How To: Get Safari’s best features in Firefox – Lifehacker

Lifehacker has a pretty good story on how to incorporate the best Safari attributes in Firefox.

This is great because the security concerns that are arising in the beta release of Safari.  But Apple has released a new update to hopefully address these concerns.

Also, Wired Magazine did some benchmarks and found out that Safari 3 is slower than IE and Firefox.

We will just have to see as things shake out and if Safari 3 for Windows comes out of beta.
