Yosemite
We are just recently back from visiting my grandparents in California — a terrific week highlighted by a trip to Yosemite. During the spring the waterfalls are full and the crowds are relatively small: a perfect situation.
A couple photos:

Larry King visits Spring Training
Normally celebrity news isn’t interesting to me, but this line was too good to pass:
And worse, Larry King showed up at the Sox-Dodgers game with a fourteen-person entourage. In other words, Larry King travels with two more people than Jesus did. That’s more disturbing than any Red Sox woes.

The Stay-at-home Server
I’m one of those guys who thinks the “I’m a Mac” ads are very clever, and funny, and the fact that I’m writing this from my MacBook is in part due to the “Cult of Mac.” Score one for Redmond with their new Windows Home Server ad campaign. It consists of Daily Show-esque videos (not terribly funny), and this satirical gem:
It certainly looks like Microsoft is selling branded hardware, which is a big step in the Apple direction. Is this one of Bill Gates’ last acts, or one of the first from the new regime?

“The Loss” given a few days reflection
So here’s my background concerning the Patriots: I started caring when I was in High School, during the Bledsoe/Parcells era. I then go off to college in 2001 and (miraculously) end up with three Superbowls and a World Series victory in my “prime-sports-fan-years.” Meanwhile my roommate, a diehard Giants fan, suffers through the whole thing relatively quietly. At least the Eagles didn’t win, right?
Obviously the only thing to do, given this year’s Super Bowl matchup, was to drive to southern Connecticut and put him through yet another successful celebration. Except it didn’t quite happen that way.
The problem is, I just can’t get worked up about it. Maybe it’s because this endless winning has made me complacent, but I thought my Bruins were a sure-fire cure for that. And people around here keep saying “Pitchers and Catchers next Friday” - have we all moved on that fast?

Adventures in Targeted Advertising
They can’t possibly have targeted that hair-replacement ad to Belichick’s photo, right?

Google TiSP
OK, so I guess I missed this last April 1, but the latest from the jokers at Google is great. “Want WiFi around? Flush it down.” How did I accidentally find it? I had googled for “wireless broadband” and it is a top 3 hit.
