No AC
I can’t believe my first car did not have air conditioning. I mean, I paid $300 for it, and I’m sure if it did have AC, I would have disconnected it to get a faster 0-60 time, because that and a loud stereo were about all I cared about then. But I was thinking about…

Rockies – Padres
I went to the last Rockies-Padres game of the series yesterday, which wasn’t part of the six-pack or the other two loose tickets I had, but just part of a general scheme to try and see each MLB team in play at some point. I think by the end of the year, I will be…

Wasting time on Yelp, da Cubs
First of all, I’m wasting a lot of times writing reviews on Yelp. So go to jkonrath.yelp.com and check that out. It would also be cool if some of you joined and hooked up with me. I don’t know why, but I know a certain lawyer in the Chicago area that has an encyclopedic knowledge…

Memory, games, WMDs
I have always named my computers after weapons of mass destruction, or general devices of warfare. I named my new machine 245t. Look it up. My memory is still not here. Today, allegedly. I have 1 gig in now, and I will swap the 2×512 for 1×1 and 1×2 gig, so 3. Fun. I am…

Rockies – Phillies
I know I said my next baseball game was the Brewers next month, but Sarah had to work today, and I thought it would be a good idea to see the last game in the Rockies-Phillies series. Pictures are here. Here’s the commentary: My seat was in Lower Reserved Infield, section 329, 6th row. If…

New Mac
The new Mac is here. It got delivered yesterday, shortly after I mentioned it on here. So from China to Denver in about two days – pretty remarkable. Having a new computer is always great to me. Just the smell of a new machine, right out of the box, is always incredible to me. It’s…

From Shanghai to Anchorage
My new Mac has gone from Shanghai to Anchorage to Indianapolis, and is now in Denver as of six minutes ago, according to the FedEx page. I don’t know if that means it will get delivered today or Saturday or Monday, but I have my fingers crossed. I think FedEx is generally better than UPS…

Rockies-Mets
Our fourth of July was spent watching the Rockies destroy the Mets, and then a fireworks show. Pictures are here. The summary: Our seats were in section 222, 3rd row. That’s just in from first base, on the first deck club level. I wore the Brad Hawpe t-shirt I got for free a couple of…

Apple Store, Kwik-E-Mart
I bought a new computer. It is the Macbook, the higher-spec white model, with the 2.16 Ghz processor. I bought it online, which means it hasn’t shipped yet, and now it’s a holiday, so it probably won’t ship for a couple of days, and then it will take a couple more days, so I’m like…

Baseball, Die Hard
First, the baseball update. I now have tickets for the following games: 4th of July vs. the Mets, club box seats on the first base side of the press box. This is also a fireworks game, so there will be many explosions and flares and whatnot. Aug. 8th, Rockies vs. Brewers. Afternoon game, I have…
