Wow, people might actually read this.

I just saw that I had some writebacks. Cool. I didn't even know. Thanks for people who have commented! Keep it coming - well, if I continue to say anything interesting that is.

Come to Hypertext 2004!

Gregor mentions a hackathon at ACM HyperText 2004. I'm most likely going to be there. I'm on the program committee for HyperText this year; we just finished reviews. (If you've been wondering what I've been doing the last few days, that's what.) There should be some outstanding papers this year! Register now!

A hackathon sounds like a good idea. Even if I don't know that much about OSCOM. ;-)

Who would have thought it?

So, through 4 games, the Rangers are now 2-2. The most surprising thing is that the pitching has done rather well. With Soriano at 2B and Young switching to SS, the defense hurts (2 errors by Young at SS in the same inning!). The offense has been good - Texiera and Blalock look pretty good so far. But, man, the starting pitching has been good through four games.

It's a long season though... Sadly, I'm expecting the pitching to come crashing down. But, we're at .500. Can't wait to see them play the Angels in a few weeks. Yay! Baseball's back!

Also, I love MLB Extra Innings. I'm so hooked on being able to watch my team from afar - that I forked over $135 for it. I figure that it'll save me from going to a concert or two over the summer. ;-)
