A Tale of Two Cities, and Three Teams
It’s not secret that my baseball loyalties lie with the team 200 miles north of my current residence here in NYC. While I passionately root for them and follow their every move, I actually also spend quite a bit of time watching two other teams. One is obvious, the NY Yankees - you can’t avoid them living in NY, and after all, it’s good to keep an eye on the competition. The other team I follow is the Mets.
Jagged Little Humps
Thank you JCabana for sharing with us one of the best video clips I’ve seen in a while. It’s a music video of Alanis Morissette singing Fergie’s “My Humps”, but in a very “Alanis” style. 
She hasn’t been this funny since she was getting slimed on “You Can’t Do That On Television”.
A Royal Welcome for Dice-K
Well, after months of insanity, Daisuke Matsuzaka made his first regular season start for the Boston Red Sox. The hype for this game was just ridiculous, 
as both the American and Japanese media took hold of it and ran and ran and ran. Cameras have surrounded “Dice-K” (that’s how we Americans spell and pronounce his name) every moment since he’s arrived here. He’s been heralded as the next great MLB pitcher, who’s wicked hahd stuff would make Pedro look like, well, Hideki Irabu :). Needless to say, all eyes would be on Matsuzaka today, as he faced the Kansas City Royals.

“First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule.” - Mr. Miyagi
The great sensei must have been thinking about the internet when he said those famous words. If basic podcasting is like standing, then Waxxi’s interactive podcasts are like flying…
Earlier, I wrote about today’s Waxxi Interactive Podcast, with Jimmy Wales. I just logged off the chat and have to admit, I’m very impressed. For about 45 minutes, a group of about 200 ‘castmembers’ were treated to a personal chat with Jimmy. Questions ranged from the differences between Wikipedia and Wikia to Jimmy’s take on search algorithm transparency, politics, Google, and wiki vandalization.

Tomorrow at 1:30 pm, I’ll be joining hundreds of other folks around the world for my first Waxxi Interactive Podcast. In case you haven’t heard about Waxxi, 
they are a true innovator in not only the podcasting space, but the social networking space. They combine the best of both worlds by creating multi-dimensional, interactive podcasts, where the entire audience can not only listen, but interact and ask questions to the special guest.
