I just finished reading the book The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty: The Game, the Team, and the Cost of Greatness, by Buster Olney. What a great book for a Red Sox fan. First of all, a word to vendors out there: if you want me to buy something, cover it with pictures of despondent Yankees. Most of the narrative weaves around the 2001 world series talking about the players and then leading up

I recently used PlanetTran to get home from Logan after a red-eye from California. PlanetTran is a car service that uses fuel-efficient Toyota Prius Hybrids rather than the usual Crown Vic or other gas guzzling de-commissioned cop cars. The service was great. I booked the trip online and was given an accurate estimate of $43 for the ride. This is almost exactly what I would have paid a cab

Now that P&G bought Gillette, and Bank of America bought Fleet, and Manulife bought John Hancock, we are running out of big, Boston based, household name companies. Beyond all the details about jobs and the local economy, what will they call the stadiums? Bank of America gave back naming rights to the Fleet Center (not out of good will, by the way, their contract said they could not rename the

Over the last couple of years I have been grappling with this feeling that our civilization is in decline as evidenced by the prevalence and popularity of reality TV shows that focus on pain and humiliation. People watch car races for the crashes, "The Batchelor" for the tears, and Springer for the fights and humiliation. Audiences are not satisfied with acting. They need the real thing.

I just saw a Yahoo News article that says that for 2005, the Yankees will pay more in luxury tax than the Tampa Bay Devil Rays will spend on their whole payroll. The Yankee$ will probably spend over $190 million (leading to a tax bill of $60 million) while the Devil Rays are around $25 million. I can't believe the disparity between payrolls and I don't know how MLB will stay competitive. It's

It seems all anyone has to do is write an article about Slackware and everyone comes out of the woodwork. So, I figure I would add to the din. Slackware is the oldest and largest community based Linux distribution around. It is usually on the top 10 on DistroWatch. The latest version (v. 10) was released in June 2004. I have been using Slackware 10 (on a Sager lap destroyer) since September

Just saw this post on Boing Boing. It describes how to politely reply to an obnoxious email without bottling up your anger or having to write two emails. Hilarious.
