Awesome. I tried this on a real quick shot that had a little depth, and it worked brilliantly. Can’t wait to play around a little more with it.

August 12th, 2008 / ‡ / +This looks like it’ll be a very interesting read on how photos are used to manipulate people—photos that are shopped to tell a lie, more or less.
August 12th, 2008 / ‡ / +Larry Dailey, who was one of my professors, contributed to this. I wonder if newspapers will take heed or continue with business as usual. This goes right along with what I think everyone having to do with blogging saw a few years ago. Newspapers were blogging like mad because they realized it was a market that they were failing to reach. It was never about public participation for them. It was about pageviews and readership overall—ad money at the end of the day. Newspaper bloggers rarely respond. They rarely truly engage. They also probably feel like it’s extra work, for the most part. There is also the issue of blogs being way more democratic. Newspaper blogs are rarely so. They are just news stories written in a slightly different voice and put forth online. It’s still edited. It still has the expert model working well. The link to other blogs is rare. That behavior stifles public participation as much as anything and leads to very ill-informed commenting when it actually does come.
August 7th, 2008 / ‡ / +This is an absolute, 100% must-read for baseball fans. Not only is it a rarity that there is a thoughtful, reasoned, backed-up article about baseball on ESPN, but I generally preface every statement I make when talking to other baseball fans about pitching with, “closers are overrated.” I say it about managers, too, but I doubt we’ll see an article about them anytime soon. Nice work here, ESPN.
August 5th, 2008 / ‡ / +Great explanation from the magnificent Paul DePodesta, one of the front office guys for the Padres and former Dodgers general manager from back when I had faith in the front office. The comments are a great read as well, with readers asking questions and Paul answering. This is a perfect primer for newer or less geeky baseball fans who might be wondering why all the fuss and dealing the past week. Also, check out this shirt. Same DePo.
August 3rd, 2008 / ‡ / +Solid article on Sal Fasano, journeyman catcher who was once confronted with the opportunity to take PEDs. He refused and is still hanging on in AAA. He’s also bitter that players named int eh Mitchell Report were directly competing against him for roster spots.
July 28th, 2008 / ‡ / +I was happy to see that this contest was being run by Southgate Coins. There are very good people there, whom I have worked with on their coin club blog. I’m going to try to get my kids entered just because, who knows, maybe coin collecting is something they’ll get into.
July 14th, 2008 / ‡ / +Joey Gilbert must have really pissed some people off. He now is asking for the removal of another official in his investigation due to that official being party to an email exchange in which Gilbert was called “a pathetic human being.” He very well might be, but why are we consistently seeing this kind of behavior from people who should know better? First it seemed like a personal issue between Gilbert and Keith Kizer, the Nevada Athletic Commission’s executive director, was causing major conflict issues, and now we get this. Can the guy get a fair hearing and be done with it?
July 10th, 2008 / ‡ / +I have yet to check out the emails themselves, but deemed this worthy of saving simply because Clemens can’t spell “douchebag” and signs his emails “22.” Didn’t he spend a lot of his time (and most productive, pre-juice) as “21?” I do believe he did. Talk about turncoating.
July 3rd, 2008 / ‡ / +Looks like a realistic recipe that doesn’t take too long. Great for a Saturday or Sunday dinner. We’ll be trying this soon.
