The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts.. The Red Sox are a member of the American League itself. Since 1912, the Red Sox have made their home at Fenway Park. The "Red Sox" name originates from the iconic uniform feature. They are sometimes nicknamed the BoSox, a combination of "Boston" and "Sox" (as opposed to the "ChiSox"), the Crimson Hose, and the Olde Towne Team. One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Buffalo, New York in 1901. After the move from Buffalo to Boston they were a dominant team, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903. They won four more championships by 1918, and then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history. Many attributed the phenomenon to the "Curse of the Bambino," said to have been caused by the sale of Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920. The drought was ended and the "curse" reversed in 2004, when the team won their sixth World Series Championship. The Red Sox led all MLB teams in average road attendance in 2007, while the small capacity of Fenway caused them to rank 11th in home attendance. Every home game since May 15, 2003 has been sold out—a span of over six years.
so, mister koppa ( proprietor of the heavy duty press ) and i ended an exciting evening for two middle-aged guys by playing a round of yahtzee.
it came down to the final two turns of dice rolling and neither of us had rolled an "any yahtzee" ( defined as all five dice have the same value during a player's turn of three rolls of 5 dice).
mister koppa got a yahtzee in two rolls on his turn and i promptly responded with a yahtzee in two rolls on my turn. neither of us had ever seen anything like that happen. ever. and it made me wonder what the odds were of it happening.
most of the yahtzee probability sites seem to agree that the odds of rolling an any yahtzee after two rolls is 1.3% or about 1 in 75 turns, which means you might rightly expect to get a yahtzee on two rolls about every 6 games ( with 13 turns per game ).
but what are the odds of rolling two successive yahtzees in two rolls? isn't it 1.3%*1.3% or 0.02% or 1 in 5,000 turns?
if so, that's just another night of improbability in the driftless region.
and, yes, i won.

Now that is what I call a bulldog! He looks determined and physically sound. Very unusual depiction of the UGA mascot. Found him on an old desk UGA was throwing out.
The shiny new exterior of John Lewis above New Str station in Birmingham caught my eye... spot me if you look closely! Who's watching who?!

This is a custom gaming computer that I built for a friend. The case is a Cougar Conquer, which looks awesome, but makes the build a bit more difficult. The pipes in the computer are part of the custom loop water cooling system; each one was bent by hand. The symbol on the right is a dokkeabi, a mischievous spirit in Korean legend. This build was challenging, but a lot of fun, and I'm very happy with how it turned out!
James Portnow, CEO of Rainmaker Studios – and one of the minds behind the successful web series Extra Credits, visited the VFS Game Design campus to meet with and inspire students. James discussed the aesthetics of game design, focusing on the importance of player experience, and the responsibility of game designers in creating that experience.

While the "Big Game" is tomorrow, let's look at another big game.
Introduced in 1977, Mattel developed this hand-held football game, with two modes of play where the 'bright' blip has to maneuver between the defending digital blips.
Not quite the Xbox or PS4 Madden football game, but pretty hi-tech for its time. (I wonder why I kept it all these years)
A glass chess set has a lot of visual possibilities. Here I just wanted an ominous, dramatic shot, rather than an actual-game position. I'd thought of putting a bright light under the glass board (I used a flashlight; I tried off-camera flash, but I could never get the balance quite right for the effect I wanted); but the difficulty was that the pieces have felt under them, so the light wouldn't reflect through the pieces from below like I'd hoped. So I came up with this idea of having the enemy king fallen on his side, so that at least that one piece gets some interesting illumination.
