i discovered imeem.com last summer while desperately searching for a dashboard confessional cover of a weezer song (this one, if you’re interested) that i’d heard years before but wasn’t available through itunes. i expected it to be a hassle– only 30 second snippets, a cost for downloads, annoying pop-up ads, etc, but found nothing of the sort. true, you can only stream the songs (vs downloading), but that’s not unexpected. in addition, the site makes you register after a certain amount of free listens; however, to date i haven’t received one e-mail based off of that registration. (plus, when you register, you’re allowed to create custom playlists of your favorite songs.) from my experience, it’s just like real.com’s Rhapsody player, but without the pesky $14 charge.

“i love the yankees. they are better than ‘cats.’ i want to play for them again and again.”

if the yankees move forward as threatened, the above is about the only thing that players and managers will be able to say about the team if they ever write a book about their experiences in the big apple. this kerfuffle, of course, has been brought about by the release of joe torre’s new book, “the yankee years,” outlining his years in pinstripes. in it, torre (although one would argue it’s more tom verducci doing the talking) spills all kinds of dirt about the team and its players, particularly alex rodriguez.

so today i made my way to the soda machine for my afternoon soda treat, as i am wont to do. i like to mix it up a little bit from time to time to keep some excitement in my life; fizzy water some days, diet dr. pepper other days. on days that seem to crawl, like today, i punch myself up a can of diet mountain dew. (or, as a co-worker once called it, “nectar of the tards.”)

if you count my college gig, i’ve been in IT for almost fifteen years. when one is in IT for that long, there are a certain amount of assumptions that the general public makes about you: your stance on hygiene, on which floor of your mother’s house you reside, if you’ve ever seen certain parts of the female anatomy outside of a .wmv format… those sorts of things. oh, and people assume you loooove role-playing games. D&D, Doom, World of Warcraft, etc, etc.

while those first three items are legitimately in question when it comes to yours truly, i’m by no means a gamer. i enjoy Tiger Woods Golf on my Wii, and certainly enjoy when wadE and chelle host gatherings where Rock Band makes an appearance. i’ve tried SOCOM, i’ve tried Call of Duty, but i couldn’t get excited about them. there was likely a part of me that didn’t want to like them so i didn’t play into the stereotype.

right. so then this happened.

so, that’s not geeky, right? since it’s, you know, ostensibly about a sport? it’s almost like i’m outside playing baseball, isn’t it?

(please?)
