Ballhype is a cool site

Attention sports fans: check out Ballhype.  It’s a Web 2.0 sports site that I’ve been playing around with this morning that is actually very cool (thanks as always to Techcrunch for linking to it).  You can join and set preferences for what you’re interested in.  Then you read through sports news stories and interesting links float to the top based on voting (think digg for sports). 

For example, I’ve set my favorite teams to “Notre Dame” and “Cleveland Indians“.  I also added “Charlie Weis” as one of my favorite coaches.  That way I can just view stories relating to those teams.  If you’re interested in a sports as a whole, you can view stories about the NFL, NHL, or whatever as well.

It’s a pretty cool site that I recommend checking out if you’re at all into sports.

Last night I thought I was going to kill a baby

Last night as I was driving home from work, I approached an overpass over the highway.  When I was pretty far back, I noticed a couple of guys walking across the bridge with a small baby.  They stopped right on top of where my car was going to drive past and lifted the baby up onto the ledge of the bridge, dangling its feet over the side.  At first, I thought for sure the guy was going to drop that baby down onto the road and let me run over it.  I’m not kidding.  This is what I thought.  My heart literally jumped out of my chest, and I prepared to swerve to the left, but luckily I didn’t have to.

He was just pulling a Michael Jackson and giving his baby a better view of the pavement below.  Nice father.
