   Man tonight's Giants game was all kinds of awesome.
   The guy who tried to
steal a bag on the Giants when the Dogs had a 6 run lead got hit
(finally).
   The Dogs bench coach got tossed arguing an inside pitch,
after the benches had been warned.
   Torre got tossed after Rowand got hit (again). Remember, the Dodgers
broke his face last season.
   Then the coup de grâce, Bochy got the Dogs closer removed from the game by the Umps when acting manager Don Mattingly made two trips to the mound in one! (He stepped off the mound, then returned).
   Bochy saw it, told the umps, and got Broxton removed, to a shower of boos from the Dodgers fans. Andres Torres then promptly delivered a 2 run double to put the good guys up by 1.

  Awesome.

MLB Rule 8.06 (d): A manager or coach is considered to have concluded his visit to the mound when he leaves the 18-foot circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber.

Check Out: Arcade Fire "Ready to Start" and "We Used to Wait"

By Alex Young on June 14th, 2010 in Check Out, News

At this very moment, there isn't anyone hotter than Arcade Fire, and for good reason. "The Suburbs" and "Month of May" kicked off a blistering month that included the announcement of an album worth paying for, tour dates, and a few secret shows. Continuing their takeover of the blogosphere, the Canadian rockers have now unveiled the first official US single from The Suburbs, the striking "Ready to Start".

Chat with Scott from Fortune. Favorite quote: "Apple is beyond proprietary..."
That's the problem I've always had with Apple. In the old days those things (IIgs, quadra, etc) were hermetically sealed. I couldn't open it up and see what was inside. So I built a PC instead...

Sun's former chief talks Oracle, Apple, Microsoft and how in his next company nepotism will be 'not a bug but a feature.'

For all the beer...
I wouldn't say it was shocking that Jonathan left Oracle quickly.  I think James leaving is a little more "telling" or "disturbing"...
Thanks for bringing the beer busts back, James!

This would, perhaps, be the second most shocking/sad news
after the resignation of Jonathan (former Sun CEO). I?m sad
 and upset after hearing the confirmed news that James Gosling will be leaving Sun/Oracle.
