I got my DriveBlue Bluetooth handsfree car kit today. So far, so good.
I was able to get it to pair up with my cell phone (t68i) and make a quick handsfree call. Audio coming out of it was ok, not sure how good I sounded on the other end.
Sometimes the sausage race at Miller Park is more exciting than the game itselft, especially with the Brewers playing like they are this year.
That was certainly true last night when Randall Simon of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit the Italian Sausage racer as it ran by the dugout.
Four people in sausage costumes race around the infield warning track between the sixth and seventh innings at Brewers games as part of the entertainment for the fans.
Videotape of Wednesday night's race showed that when the group went past the Pirates dugout, Simon swung a bat at the Italian sausage character, hitting her from behind and causing her to tumble to the ground. As she fell, a nearby sausage -- the hot dog -- went down as well.
"They were doing the sausage race. He hit her with the baseball bat," said Deputy Inspector Sherry Warichak of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, which provides security at Brewers games. "When he hit her, that other character fell."
"They both were treated at the scene for scraped knees, but at this point I don't think they have any other complaints," she said.
For those keeping score at home, the bratwurst won. And for all you youngsters out there, don't beat the sausage.

An excellent Quicktime VR shot of the fireworks display in New York from the top of the Empire State Building.
This year I was lucky enought to see Chicago's fireworks on a boat which was part of a wedding party. It was an unbelievable sight to see, cooler than being on land, and without any bugs.
