Personal Info and Miscellanea

• I'm kind of a baseball nut - grew up reading Bill James' Baseball Abstracts and poring over the Sunday newspaper lists of statstics. The best site for commentary and analysis is Baseball Prospectus, for stats is baseball-reference.com.
• I like beer.
• Internet radio is far superior to the commercial nonsense on the radio these days. My favorite streams: KEXP in Seattle (independent music);  Radio Paradise, Creamy Radio, and RadioIO Eclectic, all esoteric mixes of hits and deep cuts; Dashnine Radio (indi garage rock); monkeyradio ,  SomaFM's Groove Salad, and JazzMusique, which are cool, groovy, jazzy, downtempo mixes .
• Do you live in New York and need a massage?  Check out my brother Bob, a licensed massaged therapist who also does shiatsu, reiki, aromatherapy and is a Clairvision® IST Practitioner.
• Random Collection of interesting web pages the BabyName Wizard the Seattle alternative paper The Stranger (home of Savage Love) the truth about Urban Legends the best info source on the web, Wikipedia . and its evil twin, the Uncyclopedia
