Columbus Clippers (good) Web Calendar

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I’m a huge baseball fan.  Now that I’m a Columbus(ian?) I’m a Clippers fan.
(Their website is good, but not great and I would LOVE to help them make it awesome – shameless plug)

I am SO VERY EXCITED for the new Huntington Park and my ability to walk to it.

I use Google Calendar for everything.  Their web calendar is ok, but annoying.  I applaud their abillity to exportas a .csv but its even more useful for me as a Shared Google Calendar.

So I whipped it together. View the calendar first if you want to just check it out.

To subscribe in Google Calendar, on the left, under “Other calendars”, go to “Add”, then select “Add by URL”

Then Enter:

And voila, now you can be just like me and check every day to see if you want to go to the game that night.

UPDATE: Made it to the <a href=”http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/schedule/page.jsp?ymd=20090331&content_id=547155&vkey=schedule_t445&fext=.jsp&sid=t445″>Columbus Clippers website</a>, thank you and everything.

Screw South By Southwest

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Ok, I’m a little bitter, because I was planning to go, then about to go, then had money to go, then still waiting to get paid, then whatever, I’m not going.

Next year Reinvent Retail will be there in full force.

We’re having two great Press This Record specials for the weekend.

But anyway, I’ve been just using basic plain old Twitter from the browser at the office I’ve been working out of.  And I don’t want to hear about it.

So, nice little five minute project, a Greasemonkey script removing tweets from your twitterstream with a reference to that festival in Austin.

(I don’t claim perfection, or good code, suggestions welcomed)

I’m calling it Screw By SW, because my good friend Atom, who usually helps me come up with more cleverer names, is down there.

That is all.
