Sox sweep – Schilling pitched a great game, and back-to-back home runs by the big guys was all they needed. NY had a nice comeback today to make it a series. And the Patriots are 5-0!
Next up – Yanks or Tribe?

Also picked up a set of Cambridge Soundworks T300s, and am waiting for the Onkyo TX-NR905.

It's not time to panic….
..but almost?
Papelbon giving up a grand slam is not what I want to see at this point in the season. Nor is a sweep by Toronto.
Looking in tomorrow’s papers for Red Sox fans jumping off bridges for practice.

Lights Out
Despite the “VideoGate” incident, and all the trash talk of certain members of the San Diego Chargers, the Pats totally dominated tonight.
It was a perfect night to be at Gillette – gorgeous weather, the team firing on all cylinders, and the crowd was wild.
Too bad the Sox lost, though – was watching the game via Slingbox and giving updates in the stands..

Apple's position on iPhone development
Ok, I’m one of those who thought the whole ‘Web 2.0’ development model rah-rah RSJ presented for the iPhone was, well, lame.
Now there’s been several ways to ‘jailbreak’ the phone, such as this one explained at tuaw.com.
But there’s always been the sword hanging over developer’s heads that Apple could disable this functionality with a firmware update. It seems that they’re not inclined – at the moment – to do so.
Greg Joswiak of Apple says that while they won’t support development, they won’t hinder it either. (nothing was said about breaking the service provider lock)
So if you break your iPhone, you own both parts. But that’s a pretty enlightened approach – and it gives them an opportunity to survey the landscape for application development (and developers) as well. Sometimes that works out (SoundJam/iTunes), sometimes it doesn’t (Watson/Sherlock).
It also implies that applications running on the iPhone should run on the iPod touch as well.
Update: Or maybe not.

The memories of youth
Iron Man was always one of my favorites – Spiderman was #1. Hoping the movie lives up to the trailer.. (don’t you always?)
Kudos for using Black Sabbath; I would have guessed they’d try to ‘modernize’ the song by having Britney Spears sing it.
