I met Bill Walton yesterday

on Blazer's Edge
I live and work in Carmel Valley, a suburban area of San Diego dominated by boring housing developments and boring office parks. Yesterday after work there was a relatively large green-focused business fair held in the parking plaza right outside my office, so a few of my coworkers and I decided to leave the office a bit early and join the festivities (to which we were not invited).
Despite our lack of name badges, we grabbed some free beverages, sampled the appetizers and milled around some of the eco-friendly business displays. This was perhaps the most exciting thing to happen in the history of my office building (there were free beers and a steel drum band! crazy!). Walking around I saw a really tall guy hanging out by one of the tables and as he turned to talk to somebody I immediately recognized Bill Walton. I haven't gotten that nervous that fast since my sixth grade crush said hi to me, and I had a hard time communicating exactly who this was to my non-basketball fan coworkers. I took a gulp of my beer to steady the nerves, waited for a pause in the conversation he was having, and walked up to him. "Excuse me, Mr. Walton?..."

Roy's made the big time...
His first shout out in a rap video. Skip to the 2:00 min mark for the start of the verse.
Per Ben's podcast postings, "Mild profanity warning is always in full effect."

Texting Blazers scores
in the post-game comment section, prezofdeth said it would be cool to get text messages about blazers games. in case he was actually serious (doubtful), you can actually do this on espn.com through their alert services. go to espn.com and register (free). obviously you'll need to provide your cellphone number to receive texts, but there is no cost for the text updates. once you are registered, go to member services and click on "espn alert manager." you can then find the blazers and register for either final or quarterly updates. you will receive a text that shows the score and the points/rebounds/assists for the leading performer on each team. i highly recommend signing up, it's a lifeline when you're away from the computer and need those blazers scores!
Ball Don't Lie season preview!
This is the preview I've been waiting for. I think J.E. Skeets is one of the best basketball writers out there, and between he and Kelly Dwyer they run a tight ship at BDL.
He predicts a 44-38 record and offers some reasonable predictions for the season. It actually sounds like he watched some Blazers games last season, unlike numerous national sports writers.
Again, I highly recommend you read BDL on a regular basis. Sign up for the RSS feed, it's worth the read every time.
