Pete Rose… for all his faults, it truly feels like the time has come to forgive and move on… his contribution to the game was so much more positive than it was negative… it’s time to officially give him his due while he’s still breathing.
A pretty cool video of Pete Rose talking hitting with Alex Rodriguez and Frank Thomas on the FS1 postgame show during the NLCS…

Every great martial arts movie features training montages where the hero blindfolds himself to learn how to avoid contact by pure instinct. At this point, I’m guessing the Cubs’ Javier Baez has put in similar work when it comes to his slides.

“You want to do your best work and meet your client’s needs, so playing an active role in the conversation is vital. To extract the most information you can from your client, you must ask questions. Lots of questions.”

The “Internet of Things” is a term used to describe all the internet connected gadgets with processing power that are tethered to the internet… shifting techniques in cyber-attacks have started harnessing this processing power in their attacks… “What this all means is that the IoT will remain insecure unless government steps in and fixes the problem. When we have market failures, government is the only solution.”

The playoffs start tonight Cubs fans… predictions, roster, etc. from the Chicago Tribune…
…and Ryan Theriot spews in the ‘who gives two shits’ department.

Win, lose or drop out, the Republican nominee has laid waste to the American political system. Matt Taibbi on the trail for the last gasp of the ugliest campaign in our nation’s history…
Alec Baldwin gets under Trump’s thin skin.

Thomas Dolby is one of those artists whose work I’ve followed intently since the moment he came onto the scene… his career has been multi-faceted; musician, producer, film scorer, multi-media mad scientist and technological wunderkind… is was ahead of the curve and on the forefront of so many things art and tech related… and his knowledge of synthesizers going all the way back to the beginning… is astounding… to hear that his self-penned autobiography will be out in a couple days was welcome news indeed… even better, my local library has it ordered and I’m the first ‘hold’ on it… virgin press baby.
Editor’s Note; I’ll be taking a couple weeks off due to a heavy work load currently. Back on the 24th. Go Cubs.
