Michigan didn’t feel half as bad in their Appalachian State loss as USC does now.

A Night at the Opera
I’m currently taking an introductory seminar called, “A View from the Podium: The Art of Conducting.” Limited to freshmen, and only about 15-20, it’s a specialized class working with the Stanford Orchestra Director to learn about conducting. Watching tapes of the greats, determining their stylistic and musical differences, and such. As part of that, we […]

Yes, I’ll Tell You How College Is…
First note: Rick Ankiel has fallen way off his hot streak. Mebbe the hoopla spread by me and everyone else killed him, but since that 7 RBI game, he’s played another 14 games, with 7 hits in 49 at bats (hope I counted right), which counts for a .143 avg over that time. He’s had […]

Almost
Before I get to the real post, huge props to 30 Rock for the Emmy win! I honestly don’t care about a lot of TV, and really don’t watch much of it at all, but 30 Rock is definitely on the very short list. There was some arm-pumping going on in that hotel room when […]
(I guess I just throw my favorite posts from my main blog here, now. I really like this one; I think it really touches on my passions, for I do love baseball) I was looking at the very trusty MLB.com when I saw that The Cardinals had a 16-4 rout of the Pirates. Impressive, but […]

Flashback: in 2000, Rick Ankiel was a young pitcher, very promising. Everyone had big expectations after a great regular season. Suddenly, one day, he loses […]

I thought this was a nice find on the answers page for it: oversightn Definition: care, supervisionAntonyms: ignorance, neglect n Definition: failure, omissionAntonyms: attention, care, recollection, remembrance, success Oh well. Who really cares, anyways. I had the wonderful opportunity to […]

Some Homecoming
I got home from Toronto just two days ago (Monday). For only two weeks with my life carried on a hard disk with me, it seems like an awful lot has changed. An annoying, but not critical, change has been the lack of my mac. All you mac haters, rejoice: there was one flaw in […]

Sorting Algorithm
I don’t usually blog like this, but I had a semi-moment of inspiration, only being semi- because it might be complete crap. Well, I was thinking about sorting when I thought about using math to quicken the process. This most obviously works with numbers, though I think it can be used for other stuff as […]

Around Home
(I don’t have the dedication right now to edit that last one. Whatever. But I did write this one in my main blog. I wasn’t careful with this one at all, just kind of spilling and watching it flow towards the valley in floor, but I like it. Opinions? Better or worse than when I […]
