laura k asked some questions from a previous post about buying a digital SLR vs. buying a prosumer digital camera. If you want to skip all the nitty gritty details, just go to the Conclusion for a summary. Here’s my two cents: Just as background info. I use a Nikon D100, a 6 megapixel SLR …

i’m gonna try and save all the head shots of the major league baseball players from mlb.com. Though I’m not sure what file name structure I should use: lastname_firstname_number_position_team.jpg team_lastname_firstname_number_position_team.jpg team_position_lastname_firstname_number.jpg position_team_lastname_firstname_number.jpg position_lastname_firstname_team_number.jpg

Tonight is the 17th anniversary of the first scheduled night game at Wrigley Field.
It’s a tight race for The 2005 All-Star Game’s starting NL firstbaseman. Albert Pujols has 1,283,047 votes. Derrek Lee has 1,117,634 votes. It’s closest race in all the all-star balloting. “Pujols” just sounds like a Dark Side name. And he’s not smiling in his pub photo. “Lee” sounds like he’s on the good side. And …
