Jinxing the New York Yankees
Now this is how we do it in Boston:
A construction worker on a concrete crew at the new Yankee Stadium secretly buried a Red Sox T-shirt under the future visiting clubhouse in an effort to jinx the Yankees, the New York Post reported on Friday.
The paper cited two construction workers it did not identify, saying they were not authorized to speak with the media. One of the workers said the T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor’s clubhouse last August.
RIP – Charlton Heston
I’ll always remember you riding the chariot in Ben-Hur with that grin on your face.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5
We’re now upgraded here to WordPress v2.5. Quite happy with it so far – but wow is the administrative interface pretty different than before.
I am loving the automatic plugin updates though.
Video Analytics Presentation
Now that it’s been publicly announced – I can finally mention it here…
I’ll be presenting at the 2007 Annual Loss Prevention Conference for the Retail Industry Leader’s Association (RILA) in Dallas, TX along with Pete Jankowski, Chief Technical Officer, Physical Security Business Unit, Cisco Systems, on the subject of Video Analytics.
Our presentation is titled Smart CCTV – An Overview of Video Analytics – the program notes outline the following:
Many retailers store hundreds or thousands of hours of video in their locations that are never seen by human eyes. This presentation will focus on the utilization of video analytics to help retailers gain additional value from their video surveillance systems for both loss prevention and other organizations across the corporation. Topics will include business value development, system architecture, analytics examples, and an overview of the analytics marketplace.
The presentation is on May 1st….
Election 2008
It’s only March and I’m already tired of hearing about the election.
Hillary has absolutely no chance of ever getting my vote. Past behavior is indicative of future behavior – and we’ll leave it at that.
Barack is someone I like – but I can’t abide his proposed policies. I read his views on criminal justice, gun control, homeland security, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and that was enough to completely turn me off.
I would not have chosen McCain for the Republican nomination – but he’s the guy that won. I toyed with perhaps voting Libertarian again but decided against it.
So again, I’ll support the lesser of the two evils – McCain gets my vote, my funding, and my support.
Can we go vote now?
