Update On The Most Sophisticated Technology Posted 06.25.2008 @ 01:44 EDT Back in March, I wrote about a ridiculous commercial for the Clear Blue pregnancy test. After viewing it once, I never saw it again. Until now! But they've edited it, the cowards! The original audio | The edited audio Were there really complaints about this? And if so, did no one find the streaming imagery disturbing?

An Update To The Ol' Sporting Event Checklist Posted 06.21.2008 @ 21:52 EDT A few months back, I posted my Sporting Event Checklist, after I managed to get on the Jumbrotron at a Bruins game. Shortly after, I also got on it at a Celtics game, so I've now hit that one twice. As well, I could have seen Jon Lester's no-hitter on May 19th, but I was wiped out from a double-header two days earlier. Fortunately, I saw Derek Lowe's no-hitter way back when. I mention this, because on Friday night I saw the Red Sox take on the Cardinals from seats up on the Green Monster, along with the new Sarah Shelton. I've actually had these seats a couple times before, and I've come for batting practice, in the hopes of snagging a ball, with no luck. That all changed yesterday, however, when I managed to glove a ball off the Volvo sign while the Cardinals took BP: It's just a practice ball, as indicated by this stamp, but hey, it's something. After probably 75 baseball games, I finally managed to get a ball. Even better, I caught it on the fly, after it bounced off the sign, thanks to the glove I brought. Sarah was ducking, but I nabbed it. Now the only question is, what do I do with it? The Ol' Sporting Event Checklist ✓ See a Super Bowl ✓ See a No-hitter ✓ See a World Series game ✓ Get on the Jumbotron ✓ Catch a game ball     See a triple play     See a streaker get decked by security I should point out that my original list erroneously called for catching a foul ball, but that leasts out the possibility of catching a home run, especially a Sox home run, as well as a BP ball. This definitely counts though. If I manage to catch a Sox ball, this one will be even better, but for now, it's completed.
