Yet another use for the iPhone
The appleblog reports plans for an upcoming dock which offers gaming ability. You put the iPhone in the dock. When connected, the four controllers are used to allow multiplayer gamming. The dock connects to a TV so all four players can easily view what they're playing.
Part of me thinks, "hey it's a stinkin' phone. I have a Nintendo Wii for gaming." Then again the other part of me reminds me that I use my iPhone more for email, tweeting, and other things then for actual phone conversations.

LikeThe Irregular IQ Cube
The rubbick's cube is so 1980-something or so. So, how about trying to solve the Irregular IQ Cube. Now available at thinkgeek.com.

Dwindeling Days at 214
Our fun at our current residence is coming to a close. We have rented this house for just about 2 1/2 years. As all good things, this will come to an end in just over a week (I better start packing!) Finding a new place to rent was more challenging than originally thought. We began our quest for a new residence at the end of June and early July. Two major obstacles caused difficulty to find a new place: having two cats, and not wanting a year lease.
We love our cats, and would not give them up just to live in a specific apartment. Unfortunately, there must be a lot of lousy pet owners in the area because the very mention of owning a cat (let alone a dog) is like kyrptonite when discussing a rental property with the landlord. Further complicating matters was the lease situation. We're looking for a short lease, for now. Michele's job situation is up in the air and I don't want us tied down to a specific area (another reason why buying is out of the question.)
I'm pleased with what we found. It's another house, out in the country but with similar facilities to what we have now, although a little smaller. More to come on our new place once we get settled in.

Conan Bit
A colleague shared this video with me earlier today. Hilarious! Any comedy routine should always include Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich...oh yeah and Conan too.

Here ya go rookie…
It's a long walk to the bullpen from the dugout at Citi Field....especially if you're carrying a pink backpack.
Is this some sort of hazing for rookie pitchers for the Diamondbacks?

Nerve Center
Well it must be stressful in the dugout (especially when behind 14-1), however the control room in the stadium must be just as crazy. Too bad radio controls aren't as pretty or as colorful looking.This is the control room at Citi Field in NY:
