The second matter is this Joystiq post about Ultimate Baseball Online. A MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game), it's got some interesting features:
Ultimate Baseball Online promises to be the first massively multiplayer online sports game. Build your character, manage a team, join a quick pick-up game for some xp, or play in a league game. It’s an ambitious project and so far it seems stable and fun. Standing on the field, waiting for the ball to come to you while you talk trash to the base runner is as much fun as being up at bat. But the real appealing part of the game to me is that superstars will be built. Those who play the most will be recognized for it, taking the premise of cyber-athlete into a new direction.Seeing as how I run Linux on my desktop at home and at work, this isn't usable for me; if anyone who has a Wintel box out there can tell me how this plays, I'd be grateful to hear from you.
Lastly, I got a note today from Larry O'Connor, who hunkers down at the periphery of what Sean labels the Halosphere in much the same way Josh did prior to joining Richard at The Pearly Gates. Larry wished to draw attention to his comments about last night's game at OC Chronicle. It looks like he and Richard should get along just fine politically.
Update: A couple more I forgot to mention. Mudville Magazine has a remembrance of 1977 in the Bronx; and the Golden Baseball League's Long Beach Armada launches their new mascot, and inaugural press conference on May 25th at Blair Field. Much as I'd like to be positive about the Armada and the GBL generally, the fact that the team isn't actually starting its season on May 26 (maybe I thought that because the GBL website says opening day is in two days) is a little odd, at least; the Armada opens its season June 13th.
Aw, who am I kidding. I still just happy with accidental visitors at this point.
