Good start to Little League season
A win is a win. We got behind 5-2 in the fourth inning but recovered to win 8-5. I've got another good team this year. The kids are really focused and playing well. I believe it will be a very competive season as all the teams were drafted equally. I heard a lot of close scores from opening day. I did a review in my mind and this is my 19th Little League team and most likely my last. I've coached all three of my kids over the years. Hoping for the best season of them all.

I'm unsubscribing to SearchDomino.com newsletter
I didn't rush to unsubscribe to this service but now I am. This one bothered me today Similar to Microsoft SharePoint, Quickr allows you to
store documents in shared content libraries and manage teams and
projects from a central collaborative location.
I thought QuickPlace came on the market way before SharePoint? What Domino professional would need to know SharePoint is like Quickr?

Funny, entertaining and interesting video on Interface design
... and some Microsoft bashing. A coworker passed this on to me. Song parody and software design. A good combination? You decide. David Pogue: When it comes to tech, simplicity sellsEnjoy

Sirius and XM merger approved by DOJ
Finally, the satellite radio merger is approved by Dept. of Justice. It's been like 16 months in the works. Now, we wait for FCC approval. It's aggrevating that a merger like this that only gives consumers more choices took so long. I love my Sirius radio and can't wait for more programming like MLB(when I'm not near a tv). I still find myself channel surfing with 130 choices of channels so a few more choices could only be good. Maybe I should not be too optimistic based on my tv habits. We have about 800 channels and 'there's nothing on'. I love my Sirius Grateful Dead, JamOn, Howard Stern, comedy and a bunch of rock channels. Please add more variety and get on with it!

Good News/Bad News in Powerball drawing
We bought 3 tickets for the $200 Million Powerball drawing last night. Bad news is that I didn't match even one number out of the 3 tickets. Good news is that there was no winner. Try again Wednesday. Always look for the silver lining. :)

Interesting presidential race
My disgust of the political process in the US the last few years have been how both parties far left or far right have dominated their respected parties. Or, maybe dominate is not the right word. It's that the established candidate seems to always get the nod. My views are mostly in the center. I think most of the country is in the center on their views. They're disgusted with the political games. I'm thrilled to see, this year, the hard right talk show guys upset about John McCain. Many of my beliefs are conservative but these guys take it way overboard. To me, John McCain votes his conscience and doesn't care the price it may cost in his party. Glad to see he'll get the nomination. On the Democrat side, it's interesting to see Hilary Clinton sweating it out and Barack Obama taking the lead. What will happen if it's decided by Super Delegates and they vote for Clinton even if Obama wins the popular vote? Great irony seeing how the Democrats cried foul for so long about the electoral college that cost them the Presidency. If we do get McCain and Obama on election day, I think we finally have two candidates that we can at least agree have some integrity in their beliefs. In McCain's case, he's an American hero who suffered greatly in defense of this country during his years in a Vietnam prison camp. His record proves he votes with his conscience and has his country as his first priority. Obama has risen from no where to capture the spirit of America. I like his positive message and a President should first capture our imagination. It's what people loved about Ronald Reagan. The abilility to inspire.
So, it's been interesting so far in a good way.
