Griffey Coming Back to Seattle!!
This news certainly makes my day. Thankfully, Griffey is not going to Atlanta as was previously reported. I have always been a huge Ken Griffey fan, and am certainly excited to see him in a Mariners uniform again. Count me in for opening day!
Obama’s Economic Housing Plan
Wow, it’s been a big day relating to the state of the housing market — there’s help on the way! Head over to Zillow Blog to learn more about how 9 Million Families are to get mortgage help through Obama’s Housing Plan. I’m guessing refinancing is going to be a hot topic for the next few weeks as people watch what where mortgage rates end up following this.
Griffey to the Braves?
If this report by AJC is true — all I have to say is DAMN IT. I would probably attend at least twice as many M’s game this year is Griffey was in uniform. I guess my only hope now is to wait and hope ESPN reports something different, such as that Griffey is coming home to Seattle to play in 2009. Update: AJC was wrong (YAY!) — we still have a chance!
Brad Feld is Coming to Seattle Next Week
There’s an event next week that I wanted to share with any Seattle techies/entrepreneurs who read this blog. The fact that the proceeds of the event are being donated to a local seattle non-profit in the microfinance field called Vittana just makes the event even more appealing to me. Dave Schappell at TeachStreet gave me the heads up earlier this week, so I wanted to pass along the message: Beers and Boulder with Brad Wed, Feb 25, 6pm-8:30pm $5 entry fee Further Details – http://beersboulderbrad.eventbrite.com/ Brad Feld is coming to town and we are having an entrepreneur party. If you don’t know of Brad, he writes the popular blog Feld Thoughts (www.feld.com) and is a … Continue reading
The WWE Event at Key Arena – Who Pays to See this Crap?
On Sunday evening, I attended the WWE event at the Key Arena, a “cage” match. In short, I think this was the worst live event I’ve ever been to — and I didn’t even have to pay for the show (a friend got me a ticket). If you want to get an idea for how fake the event looked in real life, take your impression after having watched a professional wrestling event on television and multiply it by 100, or maybe even 1000. I used to watch the occasional wrestling event on television with my dad when I was young and thought the world of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Sting (among others). Now, after … Continue reading
My Friend Matt Heuer (and his Cousin Zach Rankin) Hit the National Media
My friend, and soon to be roommate, Matt Heuer got all kinds of media exposure this week for the sign he brought to Portland – Oklahoma City game at the Rose Garden. The game marked the first time the Sonics (now the Thunder) returned to the Pacific Northwest after having been relocated to Oklahoma City after last season. I’m sure it didn’t hurt that he had his two year old nephew Zach Rankin with him, but part of the allure of this story for the reporters was that Matt used to work for the Sonics and has been a fan for years. He certainly didn’t appreciate Clay Bennett packing up the team and moving them … Continue reading
