Why Don't We Have...

Every once in a while I think of something and then I think, "It's 2010, why doesn't that exist yet?" I mean honestly, the i-phone is cool, the Internet is amazing...but where are my flying cars? Why do we not have an immediate cure for hangovers? and why isn't every channel in HD? These things seem simple, yeah? But still, I think of things all the time that don't exist yet. Naturally, I thought I'd start sharing my concerns with you guys in a new feature called, "Why don't we have...?"

Today's item is...

Cell phone caller I.D.

Seriously, why do I have to type in everyone's name in order to get it to show when they call? It's absurd. I mean seriously, this is a picture of my phone...
On my phone I can...listen to music, check my email, talk to someone in another country, take a picture, shoot a movie, play tetris, text message, instant message and calculate math problems...but if someone calls me and I don't have their number programmed in, it won't tell me who it is.

I mean really, is this too much to ask? Not even i-Phones have this capability. Plus, standard caller I.D. is something that has existed on home phones for like 10 years or more.

Don't tell me that it can't be done, but cause I'm sure there is someone out there who can do it.

So really, Why don't we have caller I.D. on cellphones?


Have a great day everyone!

Play Ball...

In about 3 hours, unless it rains, I will be making my Men's C League softball debut. It should be pretty wild.

Personally, I have no idea if I am good at softball. I played tons of baseball growing up and was pretty good in my prime. I played in a co-ed softball league in the summer of 2004, but we had to hit left handed. As a result, I was horrible. However, I'm hoping that once I snag my first fly ball and take my first cut at the plate...all my days of little league come back to me and I can help the team a bit.

The good news is that it's a Men's C League and our team is mediocre...at best. We had one game so far and let's just say...we lost....by 20...after 3 innings. Now our sponsor, Shuck Fence Co., is threatening to pull their support...not really, but I'm sure we're not helping their business.

However, In defense of my team, we had one less player, we had 0 time to warm up and none of us had played in several years. Hopefully tonight turns out a little better.

Regardless, it'll be nice to dust off the old glove and get beers with the team afterward.

Go Shuck Fence!

Monday Reset...

Hey gang! How are you? Good, I hope.

I'm back from Charleston and I thought I'd take today's post to catch everyone up on what's been happening/is going to happen. Sound good? Good.

* Charleston was fantastic. The MMJ concert was unbelievable, we went to the beach, we saw "Date Night", we did lots of loungin' around. It was great to spend some free time with Taylor after we both finished super busy semesters.

* I'm now officially finished with my first semester of Grad School. It's kinda nice to go back to the 9-5 gig for a little while and I'm welcoming my summer break with open arms. Also, I finished my first semester with a 4.0! Sports school rules!

* The Derby was pretty cool, although it would have been cooler if my buddy Tom's horse would have won. But he did come in 3rd and Tom was on TV a bunch...so that was cool.

* Softball starts Thursday...its' going to be awesome.

* My work in the Athletic Department is pretty much finished for the summer as well. I'll work the Big East Softball tourney next week and I may do a few things with them over the summer. But, as it turns out, there isn't too much to do in an Athletic Department during th summer. Still, hopefully I get to do some stuff and hopefully I'll get to continue my work in the Fall.

* Now that school and AD work is pretty much done...I have no idea what to do with my time. Prior to last week I was busy like 24/7...now I have lots of down time...it's nice.

* I'm actually headed back to Charleston on Thursday. Rough isn't it? Taylor graduates on Friday and then it's off to the beach for a few days. It's going to be awesome.

* I feel like there's more news to share...but I can't think of it.

That's all for now. Tidbits served up for you guys tomorrow!
