This is greybean.com version 5.0 (codename: keaton).
The live redesign is currently 8% complete.
Okay, a couple quick things:
1. The Yankees freaking stink. I guess that’s pretty apparent, however.
2. Gary Sheffield should a.) have been ejected from that game in Boston and b.) definitely be suspended. It appears as though neither of those things are going to happen, however. Here’s the thing: Sheffield’s job in that situation is to do absolutely nothing. Walk away. Not shove the guy off of him. Walk away. Regardless of what the guy did. As long as Sheffield isn’t in danger of being severely injured (which was certainly not the case as the guy was no longer in contact with him) he needs to walk away and let security handle it. There is no situation where a player should ever act violently toward a fan. That and betting on games are the two most serious infractions against the game that a player can make. Frank Francisco, the Texas reliever who threw a chair at a fan last year, should’ve been permanently banned from the game. As should Ron Artest and Jermaine O’Neal and every other player who laid a hand on anyone in the stands that night be permanently banned from the NBA. I don’t understand how more people don’t feel that way.
All right… So, welcome to the new, much stripped-down greybean.com: version 4.0 lite. You’ll notice a few things. First, this is the only real page of the site. As I put together other pages (a page of photos and some downloadables’ll probably first, if anything ever is), I’ll add them. You’ll also notice that the, uhh, ‘bean’ (as in greybean) page no longer exists. She’s gonna need to provide some content if she wants to motivate me enough to get it up on here somewhere. My plan is to use some blogging technology like MovableType to streamline her updating process, but we’ll talk about that another day. Also, you’ll notice that the popup window is gone and that the site now stretches to fill your browser window. Isn’t that nice? The idea here is twofold: 1. I want the site to be as easy as possible for me to update in the hope that that’ll make me update it more often. We’ll see if that happens, eh? And 2. I’ve simplified everything to the point that all of the information that was hidden behind various menus, and navigation schemes, and invisible layers and blah, blah on the old site is all plainly visible on this page at all times. Nice.
Now, here’s what’s happened since the last time I made an update:
