Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

So, does anyone share my perverted pleasure that Facebook is tanking?

And it only confirms my suspicions that they knew in advance that a good chunk of their accounts were spam. 'Likejacking': Spammers Hit Social Media - Businessweek

Lawyers, start your engines!


Even though I am a Facebook user, I must admit that I do take a perverse pleasure in its lack of performance. To me, Facebook is a little like Wal-Mart....a necessary evil.

BB, where in VA are you heading to? Any chance you want to stop by DC? :)

Or Richmond. :)

Destination Gloucester. Although Friday I am going to Busch Gardens, I think. I'm told my cousin has some sort of performance there and she asked if I'd be there.
So I wish I was going to be in DC or Richmond but unfortunately I am not. If I'm ever in either area I'll be sure to tell you though. I really enjoy meeting my online friends in RL.

Well, came in to work this morning and they told me to turn around and go home and come back in tonight. So for the next few days I'll be on 12 hour night shift :p

Anyway, hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I had a blast! My team faced elimination Friday and was down 3-0 in the 7th and came back and won it in the 10th over #2 LSU (twice they beat them in 3 days) so we went to the game Saturday actually expecting to see a loss because they were playing Kentucky (we had beaten Kentucky 3 straight to end the regular season then they beat us on Thursday in the tournament) but we won that one. So we went back on Sunday afternoon to watch them win the SEC Championship in a 3-0 shutout.

The pitching staff has been absolutely dominant all year but even more so in this tournament. To play 6 straight days and on that 6th day throw a shutout in the championship game is simply amazing.

Those are some powerhouse baseball schools they took on, congrats to your team man.

Yeah, we're finally back where we belong in the baseball world I think. First SEC championship in 7 years but our 7th overall. We're traditionally a powerhouse but we've been down the last 7 or so years.

I don't necessarily follow college baseball, but I pay attention to where folks are drafted from.

Keep an eye out for Chris Stratton in the draft this year. He's a junior from our school and he's projected top 15 pick overall.

Edit: he's a pitcher with an 11-1 record, 2.21 ERA, and 123 strikeouts.

Well bumped my jog to 4 miles tonight, did it in 47 minutes. I'm beat, but feels good to finish that first new milestone.

Congrats on MSST SEC championship svt! I know it feels good when your team wins, especially when they come from behind to do it. I was spoiled there for a couple years with football and basketball with my Gators.

Awesome job on the jogging! Not sure I could do it, haha.

"was spoiled"??? WAS??? Sheesh...your Gators are the number 1 overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament, lol. :D

And thanks, it does feel pretty good. I know most people don't follow college baseball and don't put much emphasis on it...they mainly concentrate on football and then to a much lesser extent basketball, then comes baseball. But to be honest, I'd rather have our baseball team successful than our others if I had to pick. It's just good to be back where we belong in baseball. Fighting for SEC championships and trips to the college world series.

Morning all. While I am not a fan of the heat of the summer, the long days are nice, since the sunrise happens as I am driving in now. Always seems to be easier to start the day when the sun is up as I get to work.

Funny, I'm kind of the opposite. For some reason I like going to work when it's pitch black out. :thinking: (perhaps I'm somehow related to OTD? :rolleyes:)

I'm going to need someone to step up their game the next two nights. It was complete dead silence in here last night from about 11 pm central till now. I need some help getting through these 12 hour nights, lol.

Haha, well unfortunately I need my sleep, but I'm up at 5... You should check out the Forum Games section, there are a couple folks in there that are up all night.

Haha, I understand. I need my sleep too, which I sadly did not get yesterday after I went back home...20 mintes here and there over 2-3 hours is not sleep. I'll check out the games tonight.
