I hate Joe Buck.
Way to take a dig at Barry Bonds ("We all know who the true home run champion is.") and completely ignore mentioning Tim Lincecum.
Jerk.
I hate the Yankees.
Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
Initially I was kind of disappointed that I'd be missing the All-Star Game tonight, especially since Tim Lincecum's spot in the rotation had been lined up perfectly to allow him to start the game. Then the Giants went and swapped their rotation around, so Lincecum would pitch this last Sunday, pretty much nixing any chances that he'd start the All-Star Game, which was fine, because I was afraid of Clint Hurdle and the other coaches breaking him anyway. There was still a chance that he'd come in for an inning or so to mow batters down, which would have been cool. I was going to tape the game just for that, really, and for Brian Wilson, in case he gets to come in and throw some 100mph heat at some Red Sox and Yankees.
Then this afternoon rumors started swirling about that Lincecum, the great hope for all Giants fans around the world, had been taken to the hospital from his hotel room on a stretcher.
(Insert collective heart attack here.)
It turns out that Lincecum has the flu (or flu-like symptoms) and was probably dehydrated, and to be on the safe side, was taken on a stretcher to go to the hospital. He missed the red carpet parade and won't pitch, which is okay, because if "The Franchise" is sick, I'd rather he rest up and get better than potentially make things worse by appearing in a game that counts but doesn't really because the AL wins every year. Still, it's a little disappointing, but hey, at least he's okay, and at least Brian Wilson is slated to pitch in the eighth inning.
I guess I'll tape the game anyway and fast forward to the eighth inning.
I just got the repair estimate for my trusty 30D. It's actually a little less than I thought it would be.
I suppose I can stop looking at 40D and 5Ds. For now. Ha.
Now to approve the repairs and pay up so I can get my buddy back ASAP.
- people who drive under the speed limit
- people who talk when you're trying to watch something
- people who drive s l o w in the passing lane
- people that ask "what's happening?" when you're watching a movie neither of you have seen
- meetings where the same thing is repeated over and over again
-
rescheduling of events for no reason
- people who know english talking in a different language so you can't understand them
- people who come into a restaurant 15 minutes before it closes
- when your dvr/tivo doesn't record a show for no reason
- people who try to pass all the traffic by driving in the breakdown lane
Vote for Aaron Rowand. Brian Wilson wants you to.
(That's texting N4 to 36197, by the way. The video is here.)
You know you want to. After all, how can you not resist a guy who slides into bases like this?
I'm about to bring my boxed up 30D to the post office to send to the Canon repair facility. Even though I have my trusty XT to hold me over while the 30D is gone, I'm already missing my little buddy.
