Mistakes

This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, `An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.’ . . . Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed รณ and no republic can survive.

Baseblogs

Baseblogs – Obsessive fans track the national pastime on the Web. By Josh Levin

This is a fun article that talks about the proliferation of blogs dedicated to baseball. A subject near and dear to my heart. The author also gives some major props to some of my “hometown blogs”. In fact about two paragraphs of this story are dedicated to the Twinkies. Two of my favorite sites: Twins Geek (now hosted at the Startribune website) and Aaron’s Baseball Blog, both of which I have mentioned here before.

If you like baseball, to the point where you have a hard time getting enough news about your favorite team, check out this article. You could also jump to Baseball Blogs for a listing of most of the “A-List” baseball blogs.

BTW, Twins take on Cleveland tonight @ 7:05PM. And damn it all to hell!, it’s not on television. I’ll be tuning into the Dazzle Man (Dan Gladden), John Gordon and Herb Carneal.

I want to make a sign to bring to the dome: “IF THE TWINS PLAY, AND IT’S NOT ON TELEVISION, DOES IT REALLY HAPPEN?”

Tired, Happy

Needless to say, I’m a bit tired this morning after the big Twins win last night. I didn’t get home until 1 am. But we stayed until the end. Shannon Stewart delivered a 3 run walk off homer to win the game!

And man! That new turf sure looks nice. Maybe I can get that for my back yard. Won’t ever have to mow!

Search Engine Google to Offer Free E-Mail

But to finance the service, Google will display advertising links tied to the topics discussed within the e-mails. For instance, an e-mail inquiring about an upcoming concert might include an ad from a ticket agency.

I’m interested to see what kind of ads pop up for my emails? But I’m also a little worried about Google having access to all my email. I mean, I guess all my email that is stored on various servers isn’t very private, but something about the proficiency of their searching makes me a little wary.
