It smells like dog food outside and I’m heading to Dave’s Taverna Express. Where am I?

I was watching game 2 of the World Series and Fox talked about Taco Bell for about 10 minutes straight. This included an interview with the Taco Bell COO, giving away free tacos to America because a base was stolen, and listening in on a player in the dugout that was talking about the free tacos. During the interview the COO talked nothing of baseball but said how fresh their tacos were about 3 times. Then the interviewer actually said of Boston fans, “we think outside the bun.” Fox you are a tool. Damn it…now I’m hungry for a taco. I’ll just have to wait for a free one (I hear they’re fresh!) on October 30 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Still figuring out this camera doohickey(jobber). This stolen idea only took me about 150 shots to get right. It definitely could have benefited from some better lighting, but I think I’ll stick to learning to use the camera before buying new lenses/flashes/accessories. I hope I didn’t damage Katie’s fruit too much…I think I only dropped it on the floor once. This is my favorite photo I’ve taken so far…now I just need to come up with some original ideas.

Went to the Wizards game saturday against the Celtics (a christmas gift from my brother). The Wizards blew a 20 point lead but still managed to win it in overtime. I don’t have a proper camera case yet, so I didn’t take my new toy with me. Last time I was at a Wizards game the guy behind me spilt a nearly full beer on my head/back…

Stay tuned for more phlogging! (what a horrible word)

Last Tuesday Dwayne and I headed to Ned Devine’s in Herndon to play in their weekly free poker tournament. I ended up taking second place – but more importantly this sparked the return of PokerJobber after about 2.5 months.

Fantasy basketball update: I am 4-1 in my match ups (26-18-1 in category match ups). This puts my “Toine Balls!?” in 3rd place overall…sadly Stan’s “Brooklyn Ballas” are tied for 6th place. Some may chalk it up to beginners luck, but in reality I am just that awesome. My strategy is this: set my daily line ups a month in advance so that I don’t forget to put people in on a day-to-day basis. That works out to awesomeness.

In Bee-Log news, Kevin got mod_rewrite working on the Bee-Log server… what might you ask is mod_rewrite? (if you don’t ask then skip this paragraph) Mod rewrite is an apache module that transforms a given URL into a usable format. In the past when browsing the Bee-Log you might see a URL like this: http://www.btjones.com/index.php?year=2005&month=11&page=2 …with mod_rewrite, the URL in the browser is a much prettier http://www.btjones.com/2005/11/page/2/ – then apache rewrites the pretty URL to the look like the ugly one on the backend (something the end user never sees). Luckily for me WordPress has some built in support for mod_rewrite so now all my urls are purty. Awesomeness.

Oh, and I saw this while installing IE7.  I guess microsoft thinks they own google now…
