Now I'm back with another Arkanoid video--Tournament Arkanoid, to be specific.
The original version of Arkanoid came out in 1986. The ...

Jona and I spent the last full day of our trip at the cliffs on the eastern coast of Ireland: The area (called Howth ...rhymes with "both") was so pretty that I'm gonna let the next 10 photos do the talking, although I will say quickly that the water you're looking at is the Irish Sea: ...

Day 3 of our trip was Christmas, aka "Rickey Henderson's birthday" to those whose religion is baseball. (More on baseball in a bit.) There wasn't anything to do in Dublin. Everything was closed.

That's right. I'm in Ireland. No baseball here. Sorry to disappoint. Why Ireland? Because my girlfriend Jona recently discovered that she has family here, and they've paid our way to come visit. It's a long story, one that I won't get into here (in part because it's kind of personal), so I'll ...

Snowy day in New York City. Here I am, at home, doing some non-baseball work for the Argosy Book Store : If it stops snowing (and if I get my new passport) by Monday, I'll be heading off with the G.F. on a little trip...

Last week I finished a book called A Few Seconds of Panic . Now I'm in the process of reading The Bad Guys Won . They're both awesome, and I highly recommend them. The first was written by Stefan Fatsis, a 43-year-old sportswriter who somehow convinced the Denver Broncos to let him suit up and ...

I posted a new video on YouTube. It's less than three minutes. It has nothing to do with baseball (but has lots to do with collecting). Check it out...

Three things... 1) Watch With Zack got a plug today from the Wall Street Journal, and you can read it here . 2) I was interviewed yesterday by a guy at ESPN the Magazine for a story on fan interference. I have no idea when it's coming out, so be on the lookout, and if I hear anything, I'll ...

No, I still haven't joined Facebook, but it was just brought to my attention that I have a fan club on it. Check it out: BTW, in case you're wondering, I have several reasons for not joining Facebook: 1) I don't feel the need to be on there. If any old friends (or future friends) want to get ...
