"Publicizing" Professional Sports

In response to this post, "Sam" hit upon one of my favorite peeves, to which I posted this comment:

I've been considering running for office, my platform: move Sports into the public sector. We'll still find a nice cushy spot for the owners so they musn't cry. We'll make all the players Federal employees (that ought to hold wages down) and drop the average ticket price. Then the opiate of the masses will belong to the masses.

All tongue-in-cheek, of course, but it has an appeal at so many levels (including Machiavellian).

The new PowerMac G5

Anyone got a few thousand spare dollars? I'd really like to get one of these when they become available.

Re: Travel Plans

Matthew Langham points out It has become somewhat funky to announce travel plans via your weblog, so this is my "me too":

• This afternoon I'll be traveling to Shoreview MN
• Tomorrow (Saturday) I'll briefly be visiting New Brighton (MN)
• Sunday will see me attending a sporting event in Cirle Pines (yes, in MN)
• On Monday I'll return to St. Paul where I live for approximately 8 hours each day (you do know where St. Paul is, don't you?)

Sorry, couldn't help but poke fun at my mundane life, and those with exciting travel-logs. ( Jun 20 2003, 10:03:36 AM ) Humor? Permalink [Trackback] [Link]

Roller now pings Weblogs.com

The long awaited feature is now in CVS.

The issue on JIRA requests pinging on changes, but Weblogs.com checks timestamps in some way and I think Roller returns the edit time of the latest post (you may have just edited an older post).

Anyway, pinging happens automatically but I was considering adding a checkbox for "Ping Weblogs.com". Is this too much info for the user?

Sunday, June 8th: By popular demand I've added the "Ping Weblogs.com" checkbox.
