Baseball on It's a Binary World 2.0

Baltimore Orioles vs Detroit Tigers

Sun, 12 Nov 2017 01:14:41 +0000

Going back to where I was before posting Halloween costume photos, a baseball game I went to as part of Dan’s wedding festivities. Got some good shots relative to my usual luck. Had to push things a bit to be able to get the shutter speed I needed so the ISO’s a bit higher than I would have preferred.

Scarlett Plays Catch with her Glove for the First Time

Danielle bought Scarlett her first baseball glove and I was curious to see how her first attempt at catch would go. Here is a video of that first try:

My Early to Mid-April Photojojo Timecapsule

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:01:27 +0000

It’s my photojojo time capsule from early to mid-April. Interestingly, the Tampa Bay Rays were playing Baltimore early in April and they did that again this year. Do they always play the same teams in the same schedule? Also, the first photo from my 365 was in the capsule.

Fun on a Sunday Afternoon

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:07:07 +0000

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“Fun, outdoor games requiring a minimum of only two players”] [/caption]

Danielle and I went to Rockburn Branch Park today to throw a ball around and maybe ride bike. We ended up not riding bike because we didn’t like the trail too much and my water bottle holder came loose from my bike. So we grabbed our gloves and brand new baseballs (we lost our previous ball in the woods behind our house) and went out to an empty baseball field. The fact that we had a frisbee was simply due to the fact that Danielle threw it into the bag. I certainly hadn’t intended to play frisbee. It was so awesome to have a whole baseball field to ourselves. It did, at the same time, feel a bit weird to have that whole field to ourselves. It was great to just run around and throw the ball. Eventually our catching hands got really sore from having the ball slam into it. We tried our best to get the ball to end up in the part that didn’t contain our fingers or palms, but it wasn’t always easy. So I looked into the bag and we eventually switch to frisbee. It was so much fun. We were both uncannily good. I think it was mostly because we didn’t have the pressure of really awesome players to make fun of us when we did fling the disc in very wrong directions. Eventually the bugs were getting to be too much and we left. Still, yesterday’s play at the park made the weekend for me.

Another example of the perils of DRM

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:39:16 +0000

Time and again I’ve warned my readers of the perils of DRM. (Specifically here and here). That’s why I don’t buy music on iTunes and have given all of my digital music patronage to Amazon.com. Even my wife, who’s not as into FOSS and all that as I am, has become disgusted as she’s understood what DRM means for her - regular Jane Consumer.

I’m not the only one who’s made these claims. Yet others say, “you guys are just using that as an excuse to malign DRM. It’s necessary for protecting content from piracy and you just want to pirate stuff.” Oh yeah? Well, are you prepared to give up your rights to expect your paid content to work when you come back to it in the future?
