Dodgers-Angels, on paper

Even though I'm modern enough to do most of my reading online and to write this blog, I prefer to keep track of some things on paper. Every day I clip Dodgers and Angels box scores and major-league standings out of the Daily News, glue-stick them in a composition book, and mark developments and trends with a pen and hilighter.  ...

The joys of cortisone

Three days after receiving his injection, Rafael Furcal said his back feels much better, and both he and club officials remain hopeful he will be able to come off the DL as soon as he becomes eligible on Wednesday. He hasn't started baseball activity yet, but he hopes to do so either Sunday or Monday at the latest. Probably won't  ...

Math Whiz Special Edition: Fall 2008 by the Numbers

Mediaweek's ratings guru Marc Berman has done some post-upfronts math and come up with some shocking statistics (OK, more like just kind of interesting statistics, but again, no one wants to cop to reading something that's just kind of interesting, so shocking it is): Number of New Shows Overall: 16 (versus 29 in fall 2007) Dramas: 10 (versus 16 in  ...

Doggone Cute

If you ask me what my favorite adorable dog breeds are I'd have to say Golden Retriever, Samoyed, Husky and German Shepherd. But then again I'm biased because I had all those dog breeds and I have very fond memories with all of them!! Rachael Hale's book 101 Adorable Dog Breeds is a tool in helping potential owners pick  ...

Spotlight question

Q: Throughout the fall, there were numerous reports, including from you, about how Mitch Mustain was so dominant against the first team defense and he constantly got accolades for his performances against that unit. So how come it became a different story in the spring when he went against the same first team defense? Why did he struggle in the  ...

Dodgers sign Mark Bellhorn to minor-league deal

Happened about 2 1/2 weeks ago, very much under the radar. He went to extended spring because he hadn't been signed before spring training and hadn't been to spring training with anyone, then reported to Double-A Jacksonville yesterday and made his debut last night, going 2 for 2 with a double and a walk in a 6-2 win over Birmingham.  ...

Are you betting or watching?

In line at the Coffee Bean in Woodland Hills this morning, I saw a man wearing a Hollywood Park "Go Baby Go" cap, and I asked him which horse he likes in the Preakness. We laughed, because we agreed Big Brown (photo, left) seems so much better than the rest of the 3-year-olds this season, it's hard to even start  ...

Reduce the Carbon Pawprint Of Your POOCH

I have a couple dogs and I have been known to take them on long walks from time to time. Any pet owner knows when you take a dog for a walk no matter if it's long or short it always means one thing. Doggy poo. This is one of the handful of excuses, yes I said excuses that people  ...

Wife rating scale: do you put your cold feet on husband to warm them?

Just for fun, Monitor on Psychology, the official publication of the American Psychological Association, published a Marital Rating Scale in its current issue that is beyond hilarious. According to the Monitor, it was developed in the late 1930s by a psychologist at Northwestern University, who ran a counseling practice, wrote a syndicated national newspaper column called "The Worry Clinic" and  ...

I clean up the OpenSSH mess on my Debian Etch box

(Click above for a larger image) Cleaning up the mess left by the OpenSSH vulnerability in Debian and Debian-based distros (including Ubuntu) is easier than I thought. For those who haven't heard about the problem, I refer you to my recent entry, or invite you to Google it. I've had my Etch box -- which has both OpenSSH-client and  ...

OpenSSH trouble in Debian -- the Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols view

The fallout from the OpenSSH vulnerability in Debian continues, and among those chiming in are Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols with an entry that's both scathing and helpful at the same time: Words almost fail me on just how stupid this self-inflicted Debian wound is, almost, but I manage to spit some out on my Practical Technology site.
