The Curse of the Bambino is broken
Congratulations, Red Sox. Baseball loses one of it’s most enduring tales, but the Sox finally make it to World Series. (Wait… I don’t care about sports. :) )

More than you cared to know
Buh Bye Bye.com
Here’s the text of a note I sent to buy.com. I don’t expect much from it, but maybe if there’s a physical impact to their bottom line, they’ll quit acting infantile. One can hope.
