I fell asleep for a moment, and missed what might have been an important part. Went back to watch it again, just to see if that part made a difference to my analysis, fell asleep again at the same point!

I don't know if I was right to pick my last hitter before my last pitcher. Usually I do it the other way around. But in this case, there just wasn't that much difference between all the 1900s hitters I had to choose from: no power, plenty of runs and SB. Whereas with pitching it's still not clear to me whether I should go with a final starter or reliever. So I'll let the rest of you make that determination for me."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

In other seeing-things-a-bit-late news I saw Hamilton last night. It's as good as you've heard.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Originally posted by mjl View PostI forget if I mentioned it at the time, but I saw it at the R&D test theater at the Dolby office in SF. They have this laser projection system where (if I recall what the guy who worked there was explaining to me) instead of using a normal projection system where the light shines through the projector everywhere, even in the black areas, the laser only lights up the places where there's something to see. So the net effect is that the blacks are more perfect black. During the initial text crawl, where it was just white text printed in a pitch-black theater, it was really striking. I don't know if it'll actually get used anywhere but if it catches on you should check it out.
