8. May, 2002 - outdoor baseball

The St. Paul Saints play the first exhibition game of their tenth season a week from yesterday. I'm feeling ready for another season of baseball.
Hard-core Twins die-hards are more than fans -- they're fanatics. I can understand the appeal. I just happen to prefer outdoor, minor-league baseball over the Metrodome. [strib]
Our friend Greg sold a song for use in a commercial. I haven't seen the commercial yet, but adweek.com has nominated it for one of the Best spots in March. The song Me and my Dog is available to stream on line at MP3.com. Greg isn't in the Auto Body Experience (pictured left), but he used to be in the Crops with Scott, who leads the ABE. And I'm ready to watch bands playing outside again as soon as the weather cooperates. [Jim]
As apartment vacancy rate climbs, landlords offer deals. Apparently the housing shortage here isn't quite so critical after all. [strib]
Collegeville priest among suspects in sisters' '74 slayings. More bad news for St. John's Abbey. [strib]
Blogspace Under the Microscope discusses something I noticed a couple days ago. There are a few blogs, disenchanted leading the way, which automatically link back to pages which link to them. It's not unlike a commenting system, except the person commenting needs a blog, too. I'm thinking about whether it might not be a cool thing to implement, but I can think of two completely different ways to do it, and haven't decided which I like better yet. [flutterby]
