Research Finds Firstborns Gain the Higher I.Q. – New York Times

Research Finds Firstborns Gain the Higher I.Q. – New York Times
I always new that I was the smartest in my family.

In a recent report that was published in the journal of Science, “Norwegian researchers now report that it isn’t a matter of being born first, but growing up the senior child, that seems to result in the higher IQ scores.”

It is an interesting thought that has gone on for a while since Sir Francis Galton observed that men in prominent positions were first-born.

Don’t worry, I have been rubbing it in to my younger siblings.

P.F. Chang’s @ Flatiron Mall provides a good dining experience

My parents are in town this weekend and we were headed to Flatiron Crossing to cool down on an extremely warm June afternoon in the Mile High City and we decided to have dinner at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro.
I just want to begin the service was great.  The drinks were out quickly the appetizers came as soon as we finished ordering the rest of the meal and the dinner was served as soon as the appetizer plates were removed.  The waiter provided good service and checked on us at appropriate times.

Rockies Defeat the Yankees Again!

The Colorado Rockies beat the New York Yankees again tonight, 6-1.
It was an amazing night and a lot closer than the score shows.  Up until the sixth inning, it was 0-0 and a classic pitchers duel.

But in the sixth, the Yankees put together a couple of hits and got a run across.  But in the bottom of the sixth, Matt Holliday crushed a 442 foot home run up onto the concourse in left field to give the Rockies the lead for good. Continue reading “Rockies Defeat the Yankees Again!”

The Denver Post – People: Is Rosie right for the

The Denver Post – People: Is Rosie right for the “Price”?
Well if they hire Rosie for this show I will definitely not watch it anymore.

Her attitudes and the way that she treats people will ruin this show and disgrace all the good things that Bob Barker did to build the brand of the “Price is Right”.

“…people watch The Price is Right because it is a comfortable experience, and with Rosie, well, I don’t think it would be that anymore because her personal baggage would end up hurting the show.” – Matthew @ Culture Kills “Rosie O’Donnell and the Price Is Right…“

My opinion, don’t hire Rosie.

Rockies Beat the Yankees

The Colorado Rockies played an incredible game tonight and beat the New York Yankees 3-1 in a well played game on both sides.
Josh Fogg lead the Rockies holding them to only one run that was scored on a ground-out early in the game.  The pitching tonight was capped with a strike-out of Johnny Damon by Fuentes to get the save.

Taveras got the scoring going when he scored on a single by Atkins and Torrealba capped the scoring with a home run to right-center field.

The sell-out crowd kept drowning out the Yankees fans in the crowd who tried to rally the visiting team.  Let’s Go Yankees turned to Let’s Go Rockies!

Way to go Rockies and lets go get them tomorrow night.

Safari 3.0.1 is a little more stable

I have re-download Safari for Windows because of the fix of some of the security issue and I am finding 3.0.1 more stable than 3.0.
It is nice to work with and comfortable to the eye, but I don’t see myself moving away from Firefox.

I feel that Safari is slower at rendering pages, contrary to Apple claims, and the text issue is better but it could render text a lot better.

To make the text better, I used Cambria font and turned the font smoothing set to Light.

The other problem is that this blog uses WordPress and Safari for Windows does not manage the dashboard that well.  I am unable to use the rich text editor or place any links in the post.  That just doesn’t cut if for me.

It is better and more stable, but it is not quite up to Firefox and that is where I am going to stay for a while.
