Sign on the Jumbotron at a recent Nashville Predators game:

“Warning: Pucks may enter the seating area at a high rate of speed.”

That caution would apply to many things in life …

Another Predators game sign:

The “cellblock” of Section 303. Apparently, the fans in this section built their own web page and advertise it in a sign above the section, but apparently they’ve merged with another fan group and the page pushes you through to that page. Cool grass roots fan support.

But alas, the Predators were defeated by the ugly and untalented St. Louis Blues.

Happy Ides of March. Check out this great site on Julius Caesar if you want to read up on Brutus’ victim. Particularly good are the timeline and introduction

Found a very cool piece of software recently called GuruNet. Once you’ve downloaded it, you can alt-click on any word, in any file, Web page or document and it will pull up a dictionary entry on that word. It also searches the Net and provides you with an array of other information on the word, ranging from thesaurus entries to translations to other languages and general search info. I generally use dictionary.com for this, but it’s distracting to have to jump to another window in another browser, look up the word and then come back. GuruNet brings the info to you, plus an array of other info. Very useful. I’ve been demoing it for about a week now and just broke down and paid the $34.95 to get a legit copy. Worth every penny. You can download a demo version of it to try out. Go ahead. Give it a shot. I dare you.
