World Series

So the Red Sox make it to the World Series after all.

I've been predicting the Red Sox to make it to the World Series since the beginning of the year, so I was right on that count. And if it wasn't for blind loyalty, I would have been predicting them to win it. And I have been predicting them to win it since the beginning of the playoffs. I also correctly predicted the outcomes of the ALCS and NLCS.

So, I'm sticking with it. The Red Sox will beat the Rockies. Don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for the Rockies (It would be un-American of me not to), but I think the Red Sox are the better team and are likely to prevail.

Last year, the Tigers won the ALCS in 4 straight, and it took the Cards 7 games to win the NLCS... And the Cards won the World Series. This year the Rockies swept the NLCS and it took the Red Sox 7 games to win the ALCS. Foreshadowing? I don't really believe in that stuff, but as I said, I do think the Red Sox will win.

Also of note, with the Red Sox in the World Series, the Patriots dominating the NFL, and high hopes for the Celtics, it's possible Boston sports fans are about to become the most insufferable creatures on the planet.

My first homepage ever.

Oh. My. God.

I just found out that the first homepage I ever created (while I was in college) is archived online.

Here it is.

This is like finding a long lost friend. I haven't seen this since around 2000.

Granted, the graphics aren't there, so you can't see everything. And not all the links work. There are some pages with white text that was on a background of graphics, so now you have to highlight it to see it.

Particularly of note... The List, which my friend Brad and I created. It speaks for itself (and includes white text that needs to be highlighted).

Also, some very up to date commentary on Newt Gingrich resigning from Congress, Some astronomy pages I made for a class (that really suck without the graphics) and my list of the 25 greatest screen characters, which would be vastly different if I made it today (which I might do in another post another day).

Wow. Just, wow.
