Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
Well we are through four innings and it is not looking real good right now. They have been able to get runners on, but only one run across theplate.
They need the key hits right now.
Tulo just made a wonderful play, so let’s hope the defense can keep it close.
Go Roxs!

Walking into Coors Field, originally uploaded by Mile High Soapbox on Flickr.
Well the game is on and the crowd is electric. The bullpen staff got cheered as they were walking out and Francis was cheered walking in.
Francis sent the Diamondbacks down 1-2-3. It is going to be fun.
Go Roxs!
Trying to find a place to park, but saw into the stadium and they have the bunting out for the games this weekend.
I have never seen traffic this bad getting to a game. It is going to be fun.
Go Roxs!
Traffic is real crazy, so I am taking the side streets. Just heard that parking is crazy around the stadium, so will have to walk farther.
Should be fun with the kids.
Go Roxs!
It is 2.5 hours until the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks go head-to-head for the first of a three game series that will determine who makes the playoffs.
This game is going to be fun and the city of Denver is ready for it. The game is anticipated to be a sell-out and there will be a lot of energy.
I was watching Around the Horn on ESPN this afternoon and none of the pundits are giving the Rockies any chance of pulling this out. I think that is how it has been all year. They have been completely ignored as they have fought through this season.
I think that a lot of people will be suprised by the Rockies after this weekend is over.
It is going to be a fun evening. I will be blogging from the game and so keep checking back for photos and thoughts as the game goes on.
Go Rockies!
Owners of unlocked iPhones hosed by software update | Crave : The gadget blog
Well the war has begun. People who hacked their iPhones vs Apple.
I don’t personally have an iPhone, but I think it is ridiculous for Apple to treat their customers this way. If someone wants to hack their phone for additional functionality, they should be able to.
The law allows you to unlock your phone and I think Apple and AT&T crossed the line. Also, people did not receive a discount on their phone to be a slave to a service.
I think this is setting up Apple and AT&T for a lawsuit and a lot of unnecessary bad publicity. AT&T is already struggling with bad service and the sales of the iPhone are starting to lag behind expectations.
This move could have a big effect on stock prices of both companies.
Excel Can’t Multiply – AppScout
Well this is a major problem for Microsoft. They released a program with a major bug that would give errors when performing simple calculations.
…for example, it divided 65,535 by 26 to get 2,520.577. Then it multiplied 26 by 2,520.577 to get… 100,000?! Over ten thousand of these simple calculations gave the wrong answer. – AppScout
For a major spreadsheet problem, this is a big problem. They need to be more aware and test this a lot better.
According to AppScout, Microsoft is aware of the problem and is working on it.
The post by email appears to be working. It is nice to finally have this option to post by email.
I travel a lot and have a good chance to think when I am on the plane. I can develop a thought on my Blackberry and it will post when I land.
I am glad that this is finally working.
