2005 F1 Round 4 of 19: San Marino

April 24th 2005 Posted to formula1

Incredible. Simply incredible. Any who’s complained that very little ‘racing’ goes on during an F1 race wasn’t watching the last 12 laps of today’s race in San Marino.

To his credit, Michael Schumacher came up from a 13th place starting position to challenge Fernando Alonso for the win. (And, one wonders what the result would have been had Schumacher not botched his second qualifying session, putting him in that 13th grid spot).

The last 12 laps had Schumacher and Alonso nose to tail in some of the best racing seen in a while - with Alonso holding him off. Great stuff.

I wasn’t too keen on watching the race on CBS (as opposed to SpeedTV). Next up, Spain on 08-May (which, again, seems to be on CBS 12:00-2:00 PM Central).

Cool Tool: Link directly to iTMS

A friend at work recently mentioned that it would be cool if you could link directly to a song within the iTunes Music Store (iTMS). A quick Google turned this up: iTunes Link Maker

Here’s a sample:

Simplifying

April 09th 2005 Posted to Uncategorized

Pardon the dust…. but I’ve been toying around with a ‘test’ site to simplify maintenance of this site as well as taking advantage of some cool tools out there. Specifically, I’ve adopted flickr as my picture publishing service of choice (instead of doing it on my own).

There is still a lot in progress here….but, I just forced my hand by just putting this up.

2005 F1 Round 3 of 19: Bahrain

April 03rd 2005 Posted to formula1

Formula 1 continues to be good watch this season. Some may say the rules changes have eliminated ‘true’ competition, but any time new strategy enters the mix to make things more interesting and entertaining, I call it a good thing.
Installment 3 of 18, in Bahrain, just finished this morning and the results are great (and not just because Michael Schumacher failed to finish - in the new 2005 Ferrari, no less). I’m beginning to find a new favorite driver in Fernando Alonso, and not just because he’s winning.

A long 3-week break before the next race at Imola, San Morino - Ferrari’s home turf - on Sunday, April 24. This one’s being televised on CBS (instead of SpeedTV).
