well, if you can call them thoughts

Long time since my last post. There has been a lot going on in the personal aspects of my life. One of the things that I am happy about, though, is that Red Sox baseball is now in full swing. Today is the first of the infamous Red Sox/Yankees games.

So, speaking of Conficker...

Today's game is turning out to be as hyped up with no results as Conficker. Even the blogosphere is less active about Conficker Since April 1st. Admittedly, this worm is the first really widely spread worm since my intro to the technology industry. I was expecting to hear of/see infections first or secondhand, but I have not. While I'm happy the Conficker was contained in my area of the planet, It was hyped up quite a lot.

Today's game is not going so well for the hype either. Joba Chamberlain's outing was uneventful. This is similar to the April Fools Day event. Lots of hype, but no substance. In fact, Youk was walked twice - not beaned.

All of that being said, today's game will have a winner and there will be some events that are worth cheering or booing. This is like Conficker - there is substance, but it is not in the exciting, ratings grabbing manner. Daily attendants of either will find something interesting and there will be something new to learn.

Edit: This game (and the series as a whole) was actually quite exciting. Maybe the best is yet to come from Conficker...
