I Hate Fox and ESPN Announcers
There is nothing more annoying than trying to watch a baseball game with FOX or ESPN announcers. They are the most biased idiots around, and really get on my nerves. This weekend during the Yankees/ Red Sox games, the two morons on ESPN (Jon Miller and Joe Morgan) would always scream with excitement whenever Boston players hit or scored. However, the times the Yankees did something interesting, they would be nonchalant and just talk as if it were no big deal. “OMG. BASE HIT!! LOOK AT ORTIZ!!! HE’S A YANKEE KILLER” vs “Oh, look at that home run over there by Cano. How nice.” When the Yankees beat Boston 14-5, ESPN picked a Manny Ramirez home run as the play of the game. With all of the crazy Yankee hitting, the most important, best hit ever was Manny. Give me a break.
No I’m not a whining Yankee fan. I just want to hear unbiased announcers for both sides. If you want to yell at a hit, do it for both teams – that’s the point. Even the YES announcers (on a channel dedicated towards the Yankees) are less biased and show some excitement towards the other team.
How to Be a Closet Physics Geek
Jess complained that this wasn’t on my site so now it is:
In order to be a closet physics geek, you must:
- Calculate the distance from your house to Lake Isle using a stopwatch, your eyes, and your ears and fireworks
- Talk to Mr. Gruber and Mr. Ross about Mythbusters during parties
- Actually invite physics teachers to a party.
- Get yelled at by friends for being too technical.
- Get in trouble for doing physics.
- Post about being a physics geek at 2 AM when you have to be up at 6AM
- Explain how waves work while at the beach, or at a concert
- You know how 3D IMAX films work, and steal the polarized glasses from the theater because they’re cool
- Make computer programs that generate frequencies from 20-20,000 hz
- “Pwn” all physics tests
- Crash the Junior Stay Awake Athon and calculate how loud the DJs speakers are in decibels
- You own any of the following items
- Charge a capacitor to full capacity and then short it out to make that cool spark and pop sound.

Facebook added a feature called notes where you can post something like a blog on your profile. It also includes with an RSS fetcher (which you probably never heard of). Simply put, I can write posts on my website and then Facebook takes the posts from my site and automatically adds them to the wall of notes. Since no one reads my website anymore, the posts will spread out more and people might just notice.
