Well, not really vacation, but it should be alot of fun!
This Summer, I’ve accepted a gig working as an usher for the Tri-City Valley Cats
Baseball Team at Joseph Bruno Stadium in Troy. As a lifelong baseball fan,
I am very excited to experience first-hand the ins-and-outs of all the hard-work
involved in putting on a professional sporting event night after night.
It really should be a blast!

If you haven’t been to a game yet this would be a great season to stop by and see a great game by the Houston Astros Single “A” Affiliate Team right in your own backyard. The ‘Cats will be playing 38 home games this year, 36 of which start at 7pm. A number of games also have fireworks after the game which makes for a fun and (very reasonably priced) night out for the whole family.

Hope to see you at “The Joe”!

Not only is it environmentally friendly to use the mass transit
system when you visit a major city, but it turns out that it can be pretty
entertaining too. Some creative advertising folks have taking the old-fashioned
“flip-book” concept and created a series of still billboards that when viewed
from a speeding subway window, it will appear that you are watching a
moving video billboard. Neat huh? So the next time you visit Boston, San Francisco,
London, Rio de Janeiro or any other major city, it might be worth checking out!

If you are like me, you like to listen to music while working on the computer. Unfortunately I find that some of my favorite radio stations get poor reception or I get a little tired of the same old CD’s. I discovered this site called Pandora.com that allows users to stream music over the web to listen to on your computer for free. No downloading or hassle at all. The great part is that you get to customize what type of music you like to listen to and the folks at Pandora will find similar styles of music to play for you on your own customized radio stations. All you need to do is log in and type in the stations that you’d like to create based on the musical artists that you enjoy. Pandora will then search for the songs it has from the artists you choose and toss in some similar songs that maybe you’ve never heard before. Check it out!
