The Atlanta Braves have reached an agreement on a contract extension with pitcher John Smoltz. This extends his contract through 2008 with options for 2009 and 2010 which surely means Smoltz will end his playing days with the Braves.
Another belated review, this is becoming somewhat of a habit isn’t it? Regardless, another DVD review, this time of a movie that Robyn wanted to see from last year when she saw a trailer for it on TV.
An awesome video of former Phoenix Suns player Dan Majerle draining some crazy shots from half court while wearing a suit before the Suns/Lakers game a few nights ago. Back in the day, Dan could the shoot lights out from anywhere!
US health officials are now looking at whether humans may have consumed food containing a chemical linked to a recall of pet foods and livestock feed.

I took it! And if you’re in web design, so should you. The first A List Apart web design survey.
We Dig TV. Play “classic” old skool UK game shows like Bullseye, Countdown and Blockbusters online.
Yes, I bitch a lot about somethings, like last week I was complaining about Dreamhost disabling “allow_url_fopen” in PHP so I’d have use cURL instead to get a little tumblelog kind of site. Instead I cheated and used a basic WordPress install and Chris J Davis’ Lifestream plugin (of sorts) to create my own lifestream/tumblelog on the gregorsmith.com domain that was just sitting vacant since I got it in late December/early January. Quick and dirty, well dirty and not so quick, but it does the job.
Microsoft unveil a preview of Photosynth, a 3D way to view photos taken in the same location. This looks to be very, very cool… Get this working with Flickr and geotagging and you have a virtual 3D Earth.
Sometimes I love our little TV, back in Atlanta it was able to get us the local HD channels from Comcast even though we didn’t have the cable box to decrypt the signal. Thanks to Robyn we also got the extended basic package for the basic basic price, always nice. We also got a few channels we shouldn’t have like Discovery Health and NBATV, nothing really special but a bonus none the less.
Britain’s Best and Worst Places to Bring Up Children. Apparently, the best place to bring up children is in my brothers house, how bizarre!
No one belongs here more than you. Miranda July does a real old skool website to promote her book of the same name, that being hand written with a dry erase marker on appliance surfaces. Very nice indeed.
A 16-year-old student took his own life Wednesday afternoon, just an hour after he approached classmates armed with a gun on campus at North Mecklenburg High School in Huntersville. The events put four schools temporarily on lockdown and had the area police and campus officers on high alert. Just after the lockdown ended, officers tracked the student to a gas station. When police approached the teenager, he made his weapon visible, but instead of putting it down, he turned it on himself.
