…the Astros are holding on to 5th place.
Baltimore is at 20-52, .278 winning percentage, on track to win 45.036 games this season. That’s only about 117 losses, but stay tuned; there’s still a chance they can hit the 120 loss mark.

Speaking of baseball…
Friday, June 25th, 2010We are amused.
Friday, June 25th, 2010We watch very little television these days, to the point where we haven’t even hooked up our converter boxes to our analog television yet.
What TV we do watch (Cops, America’s Most Wanted, the occasional episode of Nova or the American Experience during the three months out of the year our local PBS affiliate isn’t begging for money: and we have recently found that The Good Guys kicks over our giggle-box), we watch on the MacBook using an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid and Elgato’s EyeTV software. The EyeTV software gives us very TIVO-like features, as well as the ability to export and even burn recordings to DVD (as well as skipping commercials). Indeed, we are considering an upgrade to a new television (now that prices have come down considerably) and hanging a Mac Mini off the new TV as a fake TIVO.
The point of this tale is that we were highly entertained by an email from Elgato this morning: the company has released a version of EyeTV with a “Vuvuzela Filter”. Not that this matters much to us; we consider soccer to be even worse than baseball, but the idea brought a rare early morning smile to our face.
