That Jon has the chance to beat Curt Schilling at something geekier than Fantasy Baseball.

I think it's a pretty big deal.

Also, Doug Glanville! He came from the same town as me, Teaneck, NJ. Not surprised to see him and Schilling in this, since they're allegedly huge Everquest geeks together.

At about 41 1/2 minutes of this week's "this week in tech" (aka "twit") progressive boink gets mentioned...uh, kinda. They were searching for the renamed "oink" site, called "boink". They were reading the first few search results from a google search for "boink" I guess.

"Progressive Boink, uh, Sesame Street memories" says tech journalism luminary John C. Dvorak.

So that's all they say about it. I don't know if it counts. But it was weird hearing it right in the middle of a tech podcast.

Your Regina Spektor bit was my favorite part of your "Top 100 Women" section, and you've elaborated on it to perfection. I would imagine this falls within my top five all-time "Dugouts" if this can be categorized as so.

I lost the season opener, 3-2. Then again, I lost against the guy who created Strat-O-Matic Baseball Online, so I'm not too down on myself.

I posted my first circa-1986 Dugout today. It was a blast to write, so I plan to post more when I'm able.
