I have been using Google for a long time, as has everyone else on the planet apparently. Sometime last year I started using Googles personalized homepage with features like quote of the day and how-to of the day and small things like that. More recently it seems that this has taken off and everone is talking about what they have on their google homepage and how to customize it and now with interactive themes that change according to the time. It seems a lot like the old days way back when of AOL home pages or even Yahoo home pages which I am sure a lot of people still use. Makes me think really that the huge underlying reason for all this is the growth of Gmail and Gtalk. I would say easily that 6-10 of my friends are now using gmail many of which I either converted myself or watch convert in the time we have emailed each other.

I got a chance to go see Muse again last night and they never fail to amaze me. An incredible show that ended with a mind smashing double encore it was a ton of fun. I am going to go out there right now, and saw that Muse is easily one of my top 5 bands to see live. They know how to put on a great show and I loved every second of it.
More pictures to come!!
Awesome!
Its about 10am on Tuesday afternoon on the 3rd of April in San Francisco and I can’t think of a place that I would rather be than sitting 20 yards behind home plate in AT&T Park waiting to see the Giants home opener vs. the San Diego padres. Around this time last year I had the chance to come to my first opening day game as a member of the Press and I had a ton of fun with it. I walked into the dugout, into the locker room and as I stood there waiting for the Manangers meeting same as the rest of the reporters there I chatted with Ray Durham about what he thought of the Giants that year. This year I am taking on the role of photographer for the home opener as my dad will be the reporter. I can’t wait for the chance to get down onto the field level and take some amazing pictures of which I hope to share with you soon.
I used to be very nervous at these things because I never quite felt like I fit in. I always felt like I was walking around waiting for someone to jump out and say “Hey who are you!”. But alas, that has never happened and I still come back whenever I get a chance to cover the baseball team that I grew up watching as a child. It is still hours before the opening pitch but there is already a sense of hustle and bustle around the stadium. The same feeling you get when you go to work in the morning and everyone is moving to get somewhere.
This is going to be a great day. I will see you all soon with some Giants pictures and a win hopefully!! Go Giants!!!
