Thank you Daylight Savings!

Posted by Pete on October 31st, 2005

Toby and his girlfriend Andrea came into town this weekend to visit. It was a Vegas-like trip with little rest and plenty of activities. It was fun to play the part of a visitor in San Diego this weekend. We toured Petco Park which I recommend for any baseball fan. After that we hit Tijuana for the day and went to the Chargers game on Sunday. In between all of that we managed to hit the clubs downtown and in Pacific Beach. Toby tried his first Sake Bomb and Andrea discovered that sushi is not her thing. After a long weekend the extra hour of sleep really came in handy.


This is in the Padres’ dugout as Toby makes the call to the bullpen. He was arrested shortly afterwards…(just kidding).




Spotted on the way as we walked into Tijuana. Let’s see, where did I park my car again? Was it in the west parking lot or was it somewhere in Mexico? I can never remember!

Signed up for VoIP the other night…

Posted by Pete on October 26th, 2005

Ever seen on of those annoying Vonage commercials? I signed up for VoIP (Voice-Over IP) the other night since my cable company doesn’t offer digital phone service in my area and this seemed like something a gadget geek would do. VoIP is basically having a phone that uses your Internet connection to send and receive conversations instead of a phone line.

I haven’t tried it out yet but there are some interesting features such as the ability to get an email whenever you have a voicemail. Forwarding that email to my cell phone would let me know anytime I have a message at home.

There’s also the ability to set it to call your home phone and another number (cell phone) at the same time so you can pick up either and talk. More reviews coming up on this once I get it and install it but so far it seems exciting.

Basically from now on, if you call and I don’t answer, I’m ignoring you.

Padres Playoff Game #3

Posted by Pete on October 9th, 2005

Padres lost a tough series this weekend in the playoffs against St. Louis. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the game and had great seats about 15-20 rows behind home plate.
