Things about my life.
The kids have been wanting to go play on the basketball court for a week or so now, but we’ve not been going because of Kate’s ankle. We took them yesterday and they seem to have had a good time.
Gamespot has up a preview for NASCAR 09, which looks fairly encouraging. I’ve skipped the last few versions, since they didn’t offer much of an improvement over the version I own. This one looks like it might be a nice graphics upgrade, as well as some interesting game play.
That was an awesome race! The CoT changed things up, and made them very exciting. It was exciting race with an awesome ending. Hopefully it’s a sign of an exciting year to come. We have been looking forward to racing season starting back up, and we weren’t disappointed!
We’ve spent the last [...]
Xander’s second tooth came out today while he was at school. He saved it in the little bag we’d sent with him in case that happened. He was very excited.
He also bowled 110 during PE at school today and won his match. He was very excited about that also.
Everything exists somewhere on the Internet.
Today I found (via Digg) a video someone made (scroll down a bit there to get to the video) that syncs up the audio from Game 6 of the 1986 World Series with video from RBI Baseball.
It’s quite impressive. I played RBI Baseball quite a bit when I was [...]
That’s the first time I’ve even seen a NASCAR race red flagged because of snow!
I came across this today. It’s a Top 10 list from The Late Show with David Letterman from December 2nd, 1999. It was read by Dale Jarrett, who had recently won the Winston Cup at the time.
THE TOP 10 NASCAR DRIVER PET PEEVES10. Winning a race, then getting passed on the way home [...]
NASCAR is back! The Daytona 500 was today, and we, of course, watched it. It was a so so race this year. The weather made things a little weird. I’m not a big fan of restrictor plate racing in any case. Xander was thrilled to have racing back though. [...]
Starting in 2007, NASCAR television rights will be split between ABC/ESPN,TNT, and FOX/FX/Speed. This deal lasts through 2014.
Whew. ABC (or rather Disney) owns a lot of channels, so I expect the content to get spread around quite a bit.
Looks like FOX keeps the first part of the Season, and then ABC/ESPN and TNT [...]
We had a visit from NASCAR here in Leesburg today.
Nextel had a car out at one of the wireless stores around here, so I took Xander out to check things out.
He, of course, loved it. They had a mock up of a Dale Jarrett car there. It had a video game inside it [...]
NASCAR is back! What a great race. Even if two of my fantasy drivers blew engines. We all enjoyed watching the race, except Mira, who would have rather been watching Blue’s Clues.
Yea, race!
Events I’ve enjoyed the most so far in no particular order:
Table Tennis
Volleyball
Diving
Swimming
Archery
Fencing
It’s been a very good Olympics this year, even with NBC involved. The TiVo has made a huge difference in what I’ve been able to watch and how much I’ve been able to enjoy it.
AOL is letting members vote on the paint scheme for the 30 car in the Nov 11th race in Phoenix. You have to have a screenname to vote. All 3 of them look pretty sweet to me, but I like the one with the running man guy on the hood the best.
Ahmed Almaktoum picked up the first metal ever in any Olympics for the United Arab Emirates yesterday by getting the gold in Men’s Double Trap. I just thought that was pretty cool, and worthy of note.
