Just the ... http://stageleft.us/blog/index.php/2008/04/30/hello-facebook/ It's 1:05 AM. Jim Edmonds just grounded into a double play. We're going into the 22nd inning. EPIC. UPDATE: 1:21 AM. Rockies win. Sigh. UPDATE 2: I'm so fucking disgusted with the Padres offense. Peavy, Hoffy, Bell, Thatcher, Cameron, Ledezma, Rusch all pitched magnificently. KG's error was so damn costly, ultimately resulting ... http://stageleft.us/blog/index.php/2008/04/18/padres-vs-rockies/ Looks like Time Warner Cable's move to switched digital video is freeing up some bandwidth.

Roughly an hour and a half drive outside of San Diego, Anza Borrego ... http://stageleft.us/blog/index.php/2008/04/04/anza-borrego-desert-state-park/ About 2 weeks ago I got into another accident. I'm totally fine, but the car is in the shop. For those of you who know me, me and my car have had a pretty colorful past together. I'm sure my Carfax report would read like War & Peace. Anyways, my ... http://stageleft.us/blog/index.php/2008/04/03/another-accident/ Justin introduced me to this little piece of internet radness. Basically, it's a modern take of making a mixed tape.
