The Spurs lost, but it was close. The good news is, we played horribly for streches of the game, the officiating was bad, and hurt us a bit disproportionately, and we still had a chance late in the game. So, here's looking for the Spurs to win in Phoenix for game 5.

I've been meaning to blog about this for a little bit. I've changed positions recently (started the new position on May 16th). Previously, I worked at the SJFHQ. I did system administration for Sharepoint Portal Server, provided portal expertise, and did some Java-based web development on the side.The new job is with the same company,...

I still really don't know what to say about the San Antonio Spurs impressive success against the Phoenix Suns in the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. While I thought we matched up well against the Suns, and am not suprised by their success, it hasn't gone quite how I expected.The first two...

I'm a bit backlogged on topics I wanted to blog about. The first topic is the details on the implementation of tabbed browsing in IE 7. There are several things that indicate that the IE team may be doing a bit better of an implementation than Firefox:We are working on balancing the default behavior for...

Go, read it, now! It's so right on, that I may just ask the authors their religion, so that I might achieve everlasting peace and happiness.Actually...I think the XBox's music features are nice (customize the playlist within all games from your music collection), and look forward to perhaps being able to play basketball without listening...

Well, there's been a lot of news about the next generation video game systems coming out frome the E3 event. Honestly, I'm having a hard time following it all. Nintendo obviously intends to wait and tell us more later. Nintendo creates 1st party games that appeal to me so much more than the stuff that...

I talked about the classiness of the Denver Nuggets fans last round. The Seattle Supersonics fans decided they needed to one-up them. They didn't just perform audible chants of "bull-shit" in every home game, multiple times per game. There was also a sizeable contigent that cheered when it appeared that Tim Duncan of the San...

I still have a Flickr Pro account to give away. That's a $24.95 value. If anybody who reads this blog wants one, let me know. I'd prefer to give it away to someone I know, since I don't use e-mail, I figure this is the best way to announce it. If no such person turns...

The San Antonio Spurs won game 2 over the Sonics without much difficulty, taking a 2 game lead. The Spurs are doing well, and should win the series pretty easily. I shoudl be happy and calm, but I've got a couple complaints that are really bugging me.The first is the refereeing. We're winning, so this...

The San Antonio Spurs win in overtime, despite what Charles Barkley called "One of the worst officiated games I've ever seen in my 20 years associated with the NBA." Duncan played well, but fouled out in overtime. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili picked up their games even further in overtime to seal the win. Spurs...

Just wanted to post about this while I remembered: you gotta love the classiness of the Denver Nuggets fans. For the second game in a row they get an extremely audible chant of "bull-shit" going. I don't recall for sure if they had any cause in Game 3. However, in Game 4, they are completely...

"I'm going to put in on tape and show my son how to play basketball -- just put your head down and run into people," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I guess that's a new brand of basketball. It's not very pretty. He just goes in there and throws his arms up in the air...
