Caught the Braves game Friday night with the wife, and had awesome seats! Check out the camera angle to the homebase. Row 11 from the field!
Braves won over the Nationals, there was some fool who ran on the field, tackled a security guy, and was promptly handcuffed by a police officer (the security rent-guard was down for almost 10 minutes after the hit). There was also awesome fireworks afterwards. Definitely recommend staying if they have them again – comparable to most 4th of July events, but you are sitting back in your seats finishing up your peanuts.
Best,
James

Rarely has there been time to play with toys, but there are a few that I have my eyes on.
First off – I LOVE NYC. In this case I love REGAL CINEMAS. They have introduced a “Regal Guest Response System” where you may click a button and summon a company bouncer. Perfect for parents who don’t realize being a parent means taking care of the child – a rated R movie at 10pm does not qualify, or those annoying individuals who bring burritos into the establishment.
Second – Microsoft introduced something called Surface. Really cool technology, and I am glad it is in production. I do not buy their timeline on how it was developed, because I recall seeing demonstrations by non-Microsoft persons with this same tech. As I said, happy it is out and welcome the shift.
Google Developer’s Day just “completed” and announced Gears! Offline access to your wonderful online applications. It is an open source API, so this means ALL web applications can be made available offline with a bit of programming magic. Be aware this is still in beta, but probably pretty rock solid as other Google launched applications. (Gmail, Reader, etc…) Here is a nice review
Finally – I started this post off with toys, and none better than Blizzard’s long awaited STARCRAFT II. Looks like it is finally time to upgrade to some rocking hardware (vista won’t make me upgrade, but Blizzard gets my vote)!
Ciao,
James

Recently a friend has forwarded me a few games that are online only, free, and quick to play. Below are the current ones I am enjoying these days. The nice thing is that some you can keep playing offline, as long as your browser still has the applets loaded.
